The study of quantum mechanics in non-inertial reference frames, particularly in the context of open systems, introduces several intriguing phenomena and challenges. This paper presents a comprehensive framework for analyzing the quantum mechanics of open systems undergoing noninertial motion. Our methodology leverages the concept of dissipatons, statistical quasi-particles that capture collective dissipative effects from the environment. We demonstrate that our approach offers a natural understanding of the intricate dynamics among non-inertial effects, decoherence, dissipation, and system-bath entanglement. Specifically, we conduct demonstrations focusing on the Lamb shift phenomenon within a rotating ring cavity. Through theoretical exposition and practical applications, our framework elucidates the profound interplay between open quantum dynamics and non-inertial motion, paving the way for advancements in quantum information processing and sensing technologies.

Quantum mechanics is traditionally formulated in terms of postulates inferred from experimentalobservations. Here we propose that the statistical regularities of quantum mechanics arise as macro-scopic manifestations of stochastic fluctuations of dynamical parameters in microscopic systems gen-erated by a non-inertial physical background. Although the specific nature of this background mayvary, the universality of quantum statistics is ensured by invariant properties of stochastic dynam-ics - analogous to the role of the equivalence principle in general relativity - and by the existence ofa fundamental action scale, Planck constant h. By extending classical mechanics to include higher-order derivatives induced by non-inertial fuctuations and imposing a stability condition on admissibletrajectories, the minimal action scale h naturally emerges. In this framework quantum mechanicsappears as an effective statistical description of systems embedded in a fluctuating non-inertial envi-ronment while preserving all standard predictions of the theory.
