Edge state quantization: vector fields in Rindler

Abstract We present a detailed discussion of the entanglement structure of vector fields through canonical quantization. We quantize Maxwell theory in Rindler space in Lorenz gauge, discuss the Hilbert space structure and analyze the Unruh effect. As a warm-up, in 1 + 1 dimensions, we compute the sp...
