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…
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…
Elastically induced phase-shift and birefringence in optical fibers
Elisabeth Steininger, Thomas Mieling, Piotr T. ChruÅciel
We compute how elastic deformations of optical fibers affect light propagation therein. Specifically, we consider differences in wave-guiding properties of straight fibers subject…
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…
