abstract

This article investigates the interaction of a spherically symmetric massless scalar field with a strong gravitational field. It focuses on the propagation of waves in regions outside any horizons. The two factors acting on the waves can be identified as a redshift and a backscattering. The influence of backscattering on the intensity of the outgoing radiation is studied and rigorous quantitative upper bounds obtained. These show that the total flux may be decreased if the sources are placed in a region adjoining an apparent horizon. Backscattering can be neglected in the case $2m_0 /R<< 1$, that is when the emitter is located at a distance from a black hole much larger than the Schwarzschild radius. This backscattering may have noticeable astrophysical consequences.

  1. Gravitational redshift as a quantum channel: modeling the effects of gravitational redshift in quantum optics

    quant-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Gravitational redshift cannot be represented by any finite set of smooth frequency modes, and the corrected finite-mode description is a Gaussian quantum channel built from a unitary dilation of the non-unitary compression.
