Relativistic Quantum Metrology: Polarization Effects
Abstract
The research addressed two related problems: 1. Unambiguous determination of polarization rotation in the near-Earth environment due to post Newtonian gravitational effects in the geometric optics approximation and beyond.2. Evaluation of gravitational effects beyond the geometric optics approximation. There is a well-developed theory, but its applications are controversial. Its specific goals were to 1. Evaluate the effect of polarization rotation, particularly the still controversial gravity-induced polarization, and their impact on quantum communications. 2. Propose a scheme to counter the deleterious effects, once the performance requirements make it necessary, and 3. Evaluate the effects of polarization on light propagation and consider their potential effects on the proposed solar-system experiments.
