Exploring the unification of quantum theory and general relativity with a Bose-Einstein condensate
Richard Howl, Roger Penrose, Ivette Fuentes
Despite almost a century's worth of study, it is still unclear how general relativity (GR) and quantum theory (QT) should be unified into a consistent theory. The conventional appr…
Comment on "Interaction of a Bose-Einstein condensate with a gravitational wave"
Richard Howl, Dennis Rätzel, Ivette Fuentes
A gravitational-wave (GW) detector that utilizes the phononic excitations of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) has recently been proposed [NJP 16, 085003 (2014)]. A subsequent and i…
Evolution of confined quantum scalar fields in curved spacetime. Part I
Luis C. Barbado, Ana L. Báez-Camargo, Ivette Fuentes
We develop a method for computing the Bogoliubov transformation experienced by a confined quantum scalar field in a globally hyperbolic spacetime, due to the changes in the geometr…
Quantum-metrology estimation of spacetime parameters of the Earth outperforming classical precision
Jan Kohlrus, David Edward Bruschi, Ivette Fuentes
We consider quantum communication schemes where quantum optical signals are exchanged between a source on Earth and a satellite. The background curved spacetime affects the quantum…
Wigner phase of photonic helicity states in the spacetime of the Earth
Jan Kohlrus, Jorma Louko, Ivette Fuentes +1
We study relativistic effects on polarised photons that travel in a curved spacetime. As a concrete application, we consider photons in the gravitational field of the Earth, on a c…
Dynamical response of Bose-Einstein condensates to oscillating gravitational fields
Dennis Rätzel, Richard Howl, Joel Lindkvist +1
A description of the dynamical response of uniformly trapped Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) to oscillating external gravitational fields is developed, with the inclusion of dampi…
