Optimal estimation of time-dependent gravitational fields with quantum optomechanical systems
Sofia Qvarfort, A. Douglas K. Plato, David Edward Bruschi +4
We study the fundamental sensitivity that can be achieved with an ideal optomechanical system in the nonlinear regime for measurements of time-dependent gravitational fields. Using…
Optimal estimation with quantum optomechanical systems in the nonlinear regime
Fabienne Schneiter, Sofia Qvarfort, Alessio Serafini +4
We study the fundamental bounds on precision measurements of parameters contained in a time-dependent nonlinear optomechanical Hamiltonian, which includes the nonlinear light-matte…
Rotation of polarization in the gravitational field of a laser beam - Faraday effect and optical activity
Fabienne Schneiter, Dennis Rätzel, Daniel Braun
We investigate the rotation of the polarization of a light ray propagating in the gravitational field of a circularly polarized laser beam. The rotation consists of a reciprocal pa…
The gravitational field of a laser beam beyond the short wavelength approximation
Fabienne Schneiter, Dennis Rätzel, Daniel Braun
Light carries energy, and therefore, it is the source of a gravitational field. The gravitational field of a beam of light in the short wavelength approximation has been studied by…
Frequency spectrum of an optical resonator in a curved spacetime
Dennis Rätzel, Fabienne Schneiter, Daniel Braun +4
The effect of gravity and proper acceleration on the frequency spectrum of an optical resonator - both rigid or deformable - is considered in the framework of general relativity. T…
Intrinsic measurement errors for the speed of light in vacuum
Daniel Braun, Fabienne Schneiter, Uwe R. Fischer
The speed of light in vacuum, one of the most important and precisely measured natural constants, is fixed by convention to m/s. Advanced theories predict possible…
