Experimental evidence that a photon can spend a negative amount of time in an atom cloud

D Angulo, K Thompson, VM Nixon, A Jiao… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
When a pulse of light traverses a material, it incurs a time delay referred to as the group
delay. Should the group delay experienced by photons be attributed to the time they spend …

Manifestations of inertia on light dragging revealed in plasmas

J Langlois, R Gueroult - Proceedings A, 2024 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Light dragging phenomena in accelerated media have classically been modelled neglecting
the effect of inertia on the dielectric response of the media. Here, we show that the inertial …
