• Authors: Tonghua Liu, Shuo Cao and Shumin Wu
• Abstract summary: We analyze how the curved space-time background of the Earth affects the classical and quantum correlations between photon pairs. More importantly, our analysis demonstrates that the changes of correlations generated by the total gravitational frequency shift could reach the level of 0.5$%$ within the satellites height at geostationary Earth orbits.

• Abstract: The preparation of quantum systems and the execution of quantum information tasks between distant users are always affected by gravitational and relativistic effects. In this work, we quantitatively analyze how the curved space-time background of the Earth affects the classical and quantum correlations between photon pairs that are initially prepared in a two-mode squeezed state. More specifically, considering the rotation of the Earth, the space-time around the Earth is described by the Kerr metric. Our results show that these state correlations, which initially increase for a specific range of satellite's orbital altitude, will gradually approach a finite value with increasing height of satellites orbit (when the special relativistic effects become relevant). More importantly, our analysis demonstrates that the changes of correlations generated by the total gravitational frequency shift could reach the level of <0.5$\%$ within the satellites height at geostationary Earth orbits.

  We develop a framework of integral quantization applied to the motion of spinless particles in the four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The proposed scheme is based on coherent states generated by the action of the Heisenberg-Weyl group. A direct application of our model, including a computation of transition amplitudes between states characterized by fixed positions and momenta, is postponed to a forthcoming article.

  "Spacetime superpositions" are quantum superpositions of different spacetimes not related by a global coordinate transformation. We consider the quantum-gravitational effects produced by superpositions of periodically identified Minkowski spacetime. We show that the detector's response exhibits discontinuous resonances at rational ratios of the superposed periodic length scale.

  We investigate how the superposition principle affects the gravitational time dilation observed by a simple clock. We show that the emission rate of an atom prepared in a coherent superposition of separated wave packets in a gravitational field is different from the emission rate of an atom in a classical mixture of these packets.

  We introduce an operational way to distinguish between the overall shift in the pulse wavepacket and its genuine deformation after propagation. We then apply our technique to quantum states of photons that are coherent in the frequency degree of freedom. We find that the quantum coherence initially present can enhance the deformation induced by propagation in a curved background.

• Proposal for an optical interferometric measurement of the gravitational red-shift with satellite systems [52.77024349608834]
  Einstein Equivalence Principle (EEP) underpins all metric theories of gravity. The iconic gravitational red-shift experiment places two fermionic systems, used as clocks, in different gravitational potentials. A fundamental point in the implementation of a satellite large-distance optical interferometric experiment is the suppression of the first-order Doppler effect. We propose a novel scheme to suppress it, by subtracting the phase-shifts measured in the one-way and in the two-way configuration between a ground station and a satellite.
