50-km fiber interferometer for testing gravitational signatures in quantum interference

Haocun Yu, Dorotea Macri, Thomas Morling +10

Quantum mechanics and general relativity are the foundational pillars of modern physics, yet experimental tests that combine the two frameworks remain rare. Measuring optical phase…

Quantum Communication with Quantum Dots Beyond Telecom Wavelengths via Hollow-Core Fibers

Lorenzo Carosini, Francesco Giorgino, Patrik I. Sund +7

Quantum dot single-photon sources are promising for quantum communication. Yet, the most advanced devices operate near 900 nm, where standard single-mode fibers experience signific…

Quantum interferometry in external gravitational fields

Thomas B. Mieling, Thomas Morling, Christopher Hilweg +1

Current models of quantum interference experiments in external gravitational fields lack a common framework: while matter-wave interferometers are commonly described using the Schr…

Weakly gravitating isotropic waveguides

Robert Beig, Piotr T. Chruściel, Christopher Hilweg +2

We analyse the effect of post-Newtonian gravitational fields on propagation of light in a cylindrical waveguide in both a straight configuration and a spool configuration. We deriv…

Gravitationally induced phase shift on a single photon

Christopher Hilweg, Francesco Massa, Denis Martynov +3

The effect of the Earth's gravitational potential on a quantum wave function has only been observed for massive particles. In this paper we present a scheme to measure a gravitatio…
