Atomic and optical tests of Lorentz symmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
This article‡ reports on the Fourth Meeting on Lorentz and CPT Symmetry, CPT ’07, held in August 2007 in Bloomington, Indiana, USA. The focus is on recent tests of Lorentz symmetry using atomic and optical physics. Results presented at the meeting include improved bounds on Lorentz violation in the photon sector, and the first bounds on several coefficients in the gravity sector.

New Clock Comparison Tests of Lorentz Symmetry
Lorentz symmetry is a fundamental feature of modern descriptions of nature. Lorentz transformations include both spatial rotations and boosts. Therefore, experimental investigations of rotation symmetry provide important tests of the framework of the standard model of particle physics and single-metric theories of gravity [1]. In particular, the minimal SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) standard model successfu...
متن کاملNew Clock Comparison Searches for Lorentz and CPT Violation
We present two new measurements constraining Lorentz and CPT violation using the Xe/He Zeeman maser and atomic hydrogen masers. Experimental investigations of Lorentz and CPT symmetry provide important tests of the framework of the standard model of particle physics and theories of gravity. The two-species Xe/He Zeeman maser bounds violations of CPT and Lorentz symmetry of the neutron at the 10...
متن کاملQuantum Squeezed Light Propagation in an Optical Parity-Time (PT)-Symmetric Structure
We investigate the medium effect of a parity-time (PT)-symmetric bilayer on the quantum optical properties of an incident squeezed light at zero temperature (T=0 K). To do so, we use the canonical quantization approach and describe the amplification and dissipation properties of the constituent layers of the bilayer structure by Lorentz model to analyze the quadrature squeezing of the outgoing ...
متن کاملImpact of Input Pump Profile on the Gain Spectrum and the Saturation Behavior of One-Pump Fiber Optical Parametric Amplifiers
In this article, the impact of input pump profile on the gain spectrum as well as the saturation behavior of one-pump fiber optical parametric amplifiers (FOPAs) is investigated. Since in practical circumstances, pump sources used for FOPAs have Lorentz-Gaussian profile instead of Gaussian, a more realistic case is considered for simulating FOPAs in this article. The results of simulations for ...
متن کاملOverview of the SME: Implications and Phenomenology of Lorentz Violation
The Standard Model Extension (SME) provides the most general observer-independent field theoretical framework for investigations of Lorentz violation. The SME lagrangian by definition contains all Lorentz-violating interaction terms that can be written as observer scalars and that involve particle fields in the Standard Model and gravitational fields in a generalized theory of gravity. This inc...
