Symmetries of the Poincare sphere and decoherence matrices
S. Baskal, Y. S. Kim
The Stokes parameters form a Minkowskian four-vector under various optical transformations. As a consequence, the resulting two-by-two density matrix constitutes a representation o…
Lorentz Group in Ray Optics
S. Baskal, E. Georgieva, Y. S. Kim +1
It has been almost one hundred years since Einstein formulated his special theory of relativity in 1905. He showed that the basic space-time symmetry is dictated by the Lorentz gro…
Wigner's new physics frontier: Physics of two-by-two matrices, including the Lorentz group and optical instruments
Sibel Baskal, Elena Georgieva, Y. S. Kim
According to Eugene Wigner, quantum mechanics is a physics of Fourier transformations, and special relativity is a physics of Lorentz transformations. Since two-by-two matrices wit…
Killing-Yano symmetry for a class of spacetimes admitting parallel null 1-planes
D. Baleanu, S. Baskal
A possible generalization of plane fronted waves with parallel rays (gpp-wave) fall into a more general class of metrics admitting parallel null 1-planes. For gpp-wave metric, the…
