Gravitational dephasing in spontaneous emission of atomic ensembles in timed Dicke states
arXiv:1905.12301 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.101.044042
Abstract
Here we discuss an effect of dephasing induced by a weak gravitational field on the collective radiation dynamics of an atomic system in timed single-photon Dicke states. We show that a photon absorbed by the stationary system of randomly placed stationary atoms is no longer spontaneously emitted in the direction of the impinging photon. Gravity leads to broadening of the angular distribution of emission.
