The photon and a preferred frame scenario

TL;DR

This paper explores the concept of a preferred frame for photons, analyzing the structure of photonic states and proposing experiments to test this hypothesis.

Contribution

It introduces a novel preferred frame hypothesis for photons and suggests specific experiments to empirically test this idea.

Findings

Proposes two polarization experiments to detect a preferred frame.

Analyzes the structure of photonic states under the preferred frame hypothesis.

Provides a theoretical framework for testing fundamental symmetries in photon behavior.

Abstract

Structure of the space of photonic states is discussed in the context of a working hypothesis of existence of a preferred frame for photons. Two polarisation experiments are proposed to test the preferred frame scenario.
