Abstract content <br> &nbsp; (Max 300 words)

In this research, we are working with a formalism for quantum measurements that takes special relativity into account. The ultimate goal is to modify this framework to work with more general space-times rather than just Minkowski space-time and determine how the metric would affect quantum entanglement by doing calculation of Bell's Theorem in curved space-time.
As a first step in that direction, in this paper, we calculate the case for quantum measurements along an accelerated world line by solving the Schwinger-Tomonaga equation.
