- Abstract summary: We report how the curvature of spacetime geometry affects the propagation of information carriers along an arbitrary geodesic.
Our finding shows that this gravitational distortion is significant, and it needs to be either pre- or post-corrected at the sender or receiver to retrieve the information.

- Abstract: The current race in quantum communication -- endeavouring to establish a
global quantum network -- must account for special and general relativistic
effects. The well-studied general relativistic effects include Shapiro
time-delay, gravitational lensing, and frame dragging which all are due to how
a mass distribution alters geodesics. Here, we report how the curvature of
spacetime geometry affects the propagation of information carriers along an
arbitrary geodesic. An explicit expression for the distortion onto the carrier
wavefunction in terms of the Riemann curvature is obtained. Furthermore, we
investigate this distortion for anti-de Sitter and Schwarzschild geometries.
For instance, the spacetime curvature causes a 0.10~radian phase-shift for
communication between Earth and the International Space Station on a
monochromatic laser beam and quadrupole astigmatism can cause a 12.2 %
cross-talk between structured modes traversing through the solar system. Our
finding shows that this gravitational distortion is significant, and it needs
to be either pre- or post-corrected at the sender or receiver to retrieve the
information.

gravitational time dilation is believed to decohere superpositions of center of mass of composite quantum systems.
Since true effects of gravity are encoded in the curvature of spacetime, the universality of such decoherence must be characterized.
We analyze the effects of self-gravity and show that the coupling of gravitational interaction with external curvature can not be captured.

We use this formalism to obtain a closed form of the polarization dependent correction of the light ray trajectory in the leading order in a weak spherically symmetric gravitational field.

We show that as a photon propagates along a null geodesic, the space-time curvature around the geodesic distorts its wave function.
We use the Fermi coordinates adapted to a general null geodesic, and derive the equation for interaction between the Riemann tensor and the photon wave function.
This extra phase is calculated for communication between satellites around the Earth, and is shown to be measurable by current technology.

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.

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.
