Cameron R D Bunney

I am a mathematician and theoretical physicist exploring quantum fields in curved spacetimes. In my research, I demonstrated that the (circular motion) Unruh effect is robust and persists even when including experimentally necessary features such as a background temperature.

Outside of academia, I have a passion for science communication (see SciComm) and public engagement with science.

Beyond mathematics and physics, I am an active musician. I currently serve as the Chairman, Principal Tuba, and composer-in-residence of Whitwell Brass band. I also run the linguistics blog LinguaLiebender.

Two new arXiv papers!

This past few weeks have been rather busy and have resulted in two new papers posted on arXiv! The first, Nondestructive optomechanical detection scheme for Bose-Einstein condensates, was written in collaboration with researchers at Sorbonne University, TU Wien, and University of British Colombia, including William G Unruh. In this paper, we propose a readout scheme…

C-metric in a (nut)shell

My paper C-metric in a (nut)shell in collaboration with Robert B Mann has just been published in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity and I’d like to share a few thoughts and results in the paper. In the paper, we investigate a spacetime known as the C-metric in 2+1 dimensions, a solution to Einstein’s equations…
