Revealing and concealing entanglement with non-inertial motion
Revealing and concealing entanglement with non-inertial motion
 
  Photon interference and bunching are widely studied quantum effects that have also been proposed for high precision measurements.  Here we construct a theoretical description of photon-interferometry on rotating platforms, specifically exploring the relation between non-inertial motion, relativity, and quantum mechanics. On the basis of this, we then propose an experiment where photon entanglement can be revealed or concealed solely by controlling the rotational motion of an interferometer, thus providing a route towards studies at the boundary between quantum mechanics and relativity.

          Abstract
          Photon interference and bunching are widely studied quantum effects that have also been proposed for high precision measurements.  Here we construct a theoretical description of photon-interferometry on rotating platforms, specifically exploring the relation between non-inertial motion, relativity, and quantum mechanics. On the basis of this, we then propose an experiment where photon entanglement can be revealed or concealed solely by controlling the rotational motion of an interferometer, thus providing a route towards studies at the boundary between quantum mechanics and relativity.
