Quantum mechanical rotation of a photon polarization by Earth’s gravitational field

Abstract We describe the quantum mechanical rotation of a photon state, the Wigner rotation—a quantum effect that couples a transformation of a reference frame to a particle’s spin, to investigate geometric phases induced by Earth’s gravitational field for observers in various orbits. We find a pote...
