Abstract: To study the interplay of general relativity and quantum theory, experiments to measure gravitationally induced phase shifts for single photons and entangled photon pairs are currently under development. Previous theoretical descriptions of such proposals commonly used ad-hoc insertions of gravitational phase shifts into the formalism of quantum optics in flat space-time. This talk presents a theoretical framework of quantum optics in curved space-times, which allows for a comprehensive study of such setups from first principles.
