Abstract

Quantum phenomena such as vacuum polarisation in curved spacetime induce interactions between photons and gravity with quite striking consequences, including the violation of the strong equiv- alence principle and the apparent prediction of ‘superluminal’ photon propagation. These quantum interactio...
