Gravitational redshift as a quantum channel: modeling the effects of gravitational redshift in quantum optics
Thomas Mieling, Andreas Wolfgang Schell, David Edward Bruschi
The gravitational frequency shift of light is well understood in the theory of classical electromagnetism. Nevertheless, its description in quantum theory is not yet fully develope…
Internal dynamics and guided motion in general relativistic quantum interferometry
Thomas B. Mieling
The coupling between internal degrees of freedom of quantum systems and their overall motion in an external gravitational field plays a central role in multiple extensions of Einst…
Quantum geometric tensors from sub-bundle geometry
Marius A. Oancea, Thomas B. Mieling, Giandomenico Palumbo
The geometric properties of quantum states are crucial for understanding many physical phenomena in quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics, and optics. The central object desc…
Elastically induced phase-shift and birefringence in optical fibers
Elisabeth Steininger, Thomas Mieling, Piotr T. Chruściel
We compute how elastic deformations of optical fibers affect light propagation therein. Specifically, we consider differences in wave-guiding properties of straight fibers subject…
Fiber optics in curved space-times
Thomas B. Mieling, Mario Hudelist
Single-mode fibers are used in fiber-optic gyroscopes to measure the Sagnac effect and are planned to be used in forthcoming experiments on the gravitationally induced phase shift…
Gravitational wave memory and its effects on particles and fields
Abraham I. Harte, Thomas B. Mieling, Marius A. Oancea +1
Gravitational wave memory is said to arise when a gravitational wave burst produces changes in a physical system that persist even after that wave has passed. This paper analyzes g…
Response of an Interferometer Mounted on an Elastic Square Plate to Gravitational Waves
Thomas Spanner, Thomas Mieling, Stefan Palenta
Laser-interferometric gravitational wave detectors are commonly modeled as being at rest in transverse-traceless coordinates (and thus geodesic). In this paper, we analyze what hap…
Polarization transport in optical fibers beyond Rytov's law
Thomas Mieling, Marius A. Oancea
We consider the propagation of light in arbitrarily curved step-index optical fibers. Using a multiple-scales approximation scheme, set-up in Fermi normal coordinates, the full vec…
Relativistic Theory of Elastic Bodies in the Presence of Gravitational Waves
Mario Hudelist, Thomas Mieling, Stefan Palenta
The equations of motion governing small elastic oscillations of materials, induced by gravitational waves, are derived from the general framework of Carter and Quintana. In transve…
The Resolution of Ambiguities in Light Perturbation by Gravitational Waves
Thomas Mieling, Stefan Palenta
Some previously published expressions for the perturbation of light by gravitational waves exhibit pathological behaviour in the limit of parallel propagation. We show that this is…
The Electromagnetic Field in Gravitational Wave Interferometers
Thomas Mieling, Piotr T. Chruściel, Stefan Palenta
We analyse the response of laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors using the full Maxwell equations in curved spacetime in the presence of weak gravitational waves. Exis…
The Response of Optical Fibres to Gravitational Waves
Thomas Mieling
The response of optical fibre modes to plane gravitational waves of low frequency is computed. By solving perturbatively the Maxwell equations for step-index optical fibres in a gr…
The Response of Laser Interferometric Gravitational Wave Detectors Beyond the Eikonal Equation
Thomas Mieling
The response of Michelson interferometers to weak plane gravitational waves is computed at one order of accuracy beyond the eikonal equation. The modulation of the electromagnetic…
On the Influence of Earth's Rotation on Light Propagation in Waveguides
Thomas Mieling
We analyse the influence of Earth's rotation (both around its own axis and around the Sun) on the propagation of light in optical media. This is done using both geometrical optics…
