Field propagation in a stochastic background space: The rate of light incoherence in stellar interferometry

TL;DR

This paper develops a Hilbert space framework for quantum models with minimum length, incorporating space-time uncertainty, and applies it to estimate how light incoherence from astrophysical sources deviates from standard predictions.

Contribution

It introduces a Hilbert space representation for minimum-length deformed quantum mechanics and uses it to analyze light incoherence in stellar interferometry.

Findings

Provides a method to estimate deviations in light incoherence rates due to quantum space-time effects.

Connects quantum deformation models with observable astrophysical phenomena.

Abstract

We present Hilbert space representation for a relatively broad class of minimum-length deformed quantum mechanical models obtained by incorporating a space-time uncertainty relation into quantum mechanics. The correspondingly modified field theory is used for estimating the deviation of the light incoherence rate from distant astrophysical sources from the standard case.
