• Title: The Effect of Stationary Axisymmetric Spacetimes in Interferometric Visibility
• Authors: Marcos L. W. Basso and Jonas Maziero
• Abstract summary: We consider a scenario in which a spin-1/2 quanton goes through a superposition of co-rotating and counter-rotating circular paths. Since the spin of the particle plays the role of a quantum clock, as the quanton moves in a superposed path it gets entangled with the momentum. In stationary axisymmetric spacetimes there is a difference in proper time elapsed along the two trajectories.

• Abstract: In this manuscript, we consider a scenario in which a spin-1/2 quanton goes through a superposition of co-rotating and counter-rotating geodetic circular paths, which play the role of the paths of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer in a stationary and axisymmetric spacetime. Since the spin of the particle plays the role of a quantum clock, as the quanton moves in a superposed path it gets entangled with the momentum (or the path), and this will cause the interferometric visibility (or the internal quantum coherence) to drop, since, in stationary axisymmetric spacetimes there is a difference in proper time elapsed along the two trajectories. However, as we show here, the proper time of each path will couple to the corresponding local Wigner rotation, and the effect in the spin of the superposed particle will be a combination of both. Besides, we discuss a general framework to study the local Wigner rotations of spin-1/2 particles in general stationary axisymmetric spacetimes for circular orbits.

  Phase of matter waves depends on proper time and is susceptible to special-relativistic (kinematic) and gravitational (redshift) time dilation. It is conceivable that atom interferometers measure general-relativistic time-dilation effects. We show that closed light-pulse interferometers without clock transitions during the pulse sequence are not sensitive to gravitational time dilation in a linear potential.
