In this paper, we have developed a formalism to obtain the Schrödinger equation for a particle in a frame undergoing a uniform acceleration in an otherwise flat Minkowski spacetime geometry. We have presented an exact solution of the equation and obtained the eigenfunctions and the corresponding eigenvalues. It has been observed that the Schrödinger equation can be reduced to a one-dimensional hydrogen atom problem. Whereas, the quantized energy levels are exactly identical with that of a one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator. Hence, considering transitions, we have predicted the existence of a new kind of quanta, which will either be emitted or absorbed if the particles get excited or de-excited, respectively.

Quantum non-Markovianity and quantum Darwinism are two phenomena linked by a common theme: the flux of quantum information between a quantum system and the quantum environment it interacts with. In this work, making use of a quantum collision model, a formalism initiated by Sudarshan and his school, we will analyse the efficiency with which the information about a single qubit gained by a quantum harmonic oscillator, acting as a meter, is transferred to a bosonic environment. We will show how, in some regimes, such quantum information flux is inefficient, leading to the simultaneous emergence of non-Markovian and non-darwinistic behaviours.
