Relativistically invariant photonic wave packets
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a photonic wave packet construction which is immune against the decoherence effects induced by the action of the Lorentz group. The amplitudes of a pure quantum state representing the wave packet remain invariant irrespective of the reference frame into which the wave packet has been transformed. Transmitted information is encoded in the helicity degrees of freedom of two correlated momentum modes. The helicity encoding is considered to be particularly suitable for free-space communication. The integral part of the story is information retrieval on the receiver’s side. We employed probably the simplest possible helicity (polarization) projection measurement originally studied by Peres and Terno. Remarkably, the same conditions ensuring the invariance of the wave packet also guarantee perfect distinguishability in the process of measuring the helicity.

متن کاملBrane-wave Duality
The quantum mechanical transition between a free particle Lagrangian and the Klein Gordon field description of a free particle (particle wave duality) is conjectured to extend to an analogous construction of relativistically invariant wave equations associated with strings and branes, which we propose to call brane-wave duality. Electromagnetic interactions in the two systems are discussed. It ...
متن کاملDe Broglie geometry on Zeeman manifolds : A new non - perturbative approach to the infinities of QED ( Review of the scalar theory )
In de Broglie geometry the Hilbert space, where the Hamilton operator acts, is decomposed into invariant subspaces, alias zones, which are separately investigated both from mathematical and physical points of views. The points are non-existing objects on a zone. They rather appear as wave packets (point spreads) there. This implies that also the particles living in a zone are extended ones. Rig...
متن کاملElectromagnetic-Wave Transmittance Characteristics in One-Dimensional Plasma Photonic Crystals
Transmittance of electromagnetic waves with normal incidence in one-dimensional plasma photonic crystals is studied numerically based on the invariant imbedding method. Wave transmittance as a function of wave frequency shows the appearance of forbidden band gaps, which are conspicuous in photonic crystals. We also demonstrate that the small modification of plasma photonic crystal leads to diff...
