• Abstract: Accelerated light has been demonstrated with laser light and diffraction. Within the diffracting field it is possible to identify a portion that carries most of the beam energy, which propagates in a curved trajectory as it would have been accelerated by a gravitational field for instance. Here, we analyze the effects of this kind of acceleration over the entanglement between twin beams produced in spontaneous parametric down-conversion. Our results show that acceleration does not affect entanglement significantly, under ideal conditions. The optical scheme introduced can be useful in the understanding of processes in the boundary between gravitation and quantum physics.

  When the laser light is strongly focused, but still paraxial, its e/m field is characterized by a longitudinal component. We show that this term is responsible for considerable modifications in the magnitude of the various components.

  Inverse path tracing is expensive to compute, and ambiguities exist between reflection and emission. Our Factorized Inverse Path Tracing (FIPT) addresses these challenges by using a factored light transport formulation. Our algorithm enables accurate material and lighting optimization faster than previous work, and is more effective at resolving ambiguities.

• Special Theory of Relativity for a Graded Index Fibre [0.0]
  We consider how light is characterised in a material, where the speed of light is different from that in a vacuum. The wavelength in the moving frame changes from the red-shift to the blue-shift upon increasing the speed of the frame. The corresponding energy of the light also changes sign from positive to negative, while momentum is always positive.

  gravitational aspects of quantum experiments performed so far can be explained either within Newtonian gravity or by Einstein's equivalence principle. We show that the entanglement-induced increase in sensitivity also holds for gravitationally-induced phases in Mach-Zehnder interferometers.

  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.

  We demonstrate how quantum time dilation manifests in a spontaneous emission process. The resulting emission rate differs when compared to the emission rate of an atom prepared in a mixture of momentum wave packets. We argue that spectroscopic experiments offer a technologically feasible platform to explore the effects of quantum time dilation.

• 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.
