- Abstract: The direct detection of gravitational waves from binary mergers has been
hailed as the discovery of the century. In the light of recent evidence on the
existence of gravitational waves, it is now possible to know about the
properties of matter under extreme conditions in compact astrophysical objects
and different dynamical spacetimes. The foremost theme of the present article
is to bring out the various features of the interaction between photons and
gravitons that can be used in astrophysical observations. The effective action
of interacting photons containing light-matter coupling and self-interaction
term is constructed by eliminating the graviton degrees of freedom coupled to
both matter and photons. It is shown that the equation of state of matter can
be probed from the dynamics of light in this theory. The vacuum birefringence
is also shown to be a generic property in this theory that arises from the
non-linear nature of the self-interaction between gauge fields. Further, the
non-local nature of quantum effective action with modified dispersion relation
is also discussed in great detail. The above results also open an alternate way
to infer the properties of gravitational waves without their direct measurement
using the features of photon-graviton interaction.

We discuss the hydrodynamic representation of a wide class of quantum media exhibiting similar elementary excitations and dispersion properties.
The representation covers quantum systems characterized by any type of (long-range) self-interaction, associated with an arbitrary potential.
It also accounts for possible nonlinearities, which may arise e.g., due to short-range interactions (collisions) in the case of bosons, or from the Pauli exclusion principle for fermions.

The entanglement harvesting protocol is an operational way to probe vacuum entanglement.
Using this protocol, it is demonstrated that while the transition probability of an individual atom is unaffected by the presence of a gravitational wave, the entanglement harvested by two atoms depends sensitively on the frequency of the gravitational wave.
This suggests that the entanglement signature left by a gravitational wave may be useful in characterizing its properties, and potentially useful in exploring the gravitational-wave memory effect and gravitational-wave induced decoherence.
