Effective dissipative dynamics for polarized photons
arXiv:hep-ph/0009283 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.62.125009
Abstract
In the framework of open quantum systems, the propagation of polarized photons can be effectively described using quantum dynamical semigroups. These extended time-evolutions induce irreversibility and dissipation. Planned, high sensitive experiments, both in the laboratory and in space, will be able to put stringent bounds on these non-standard effects.
