18 v 3 1 N ov 1 99 5 Photon propagation in a stationary warp drive space - time
نویسنده
چکیده
We simplify the warp drive space-time so that it becomes stationary and the distorsion becomes one-dimensional and static. We use this simplified warp drive space-time as a background for a photon field. We shall especially use the Drummond&Hathrell action in order to investigate the velocity effects on photons in this background. Finally, we discuss the limitations of this model. ∗e-mail: [email protected]

Secondary infall in galaxies could cause the angular momentum of the outer halo to change its orientation. The generation of warps due to this effect is studied using N-body simulations.

We consider pure SU (2) Yang-Mills theory when the space is compactified to a 3-dimensional sphere with finite radius. The Euclidean classical self-dual solutions of the equations of motion (the instantons) and the static finite energy solutions (the sphalerons) which have been found earlier are rewritten in handy physical variables with the gauge condition A 0 = 0. Stationary solutions to the ...
متن کامل6 N ov 2 00 1 WARP DRIVE WITH ZERO EXPANSION
It is commonly believed that Alcubierre’s warp drive works by contracting space in front of the warp bubble and expanding space behind it. We show that this contraction/expansion is but a marginal consequence of the choice made by Alcubierre, and explicitly construct a similar spacetime where no contraction/expansion occurs. Introduction Alcubierre’s warp drive spacetime ([Alc94]) allows effect...

Physical processes that could facilitate coherent control of light propagation are now actively explored [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. In addition to fundamental interest, these efforts are stimulated by possibilities to develop, for example, a quantum memory for photonic states [6, 7, 8]. At the same time, controlled localization and storage of photonic pulses may allow novel approaches to manipulate light...

We show that various kinds of one-photon quantum states studied in the field of quantum optics admit ladder operator formalism and bear generally deformed oscillator algebraic structure. The two-photon case is also considered. We obtain the ladder operator formalisms of two general states defined in the even/odd Fock space. The two-photon states also bear generally deformed oscillator algebraic...
