Recently, our group has developed a novel gauge-independent approach to quantizing theelectromagnetic field in free space. This approach has already enabled us to revisit fieldquantisation in non-trivial situations: for example, in the presence of boundary conditions forapplication in quantum sensing. The aim of this PhD project is to build on our current expertise onthe quantisation of the electromagnetic field to improve our understanding of quantum optics inrelativistic scenarios. We plan to use electric and magnetic field quantum observables, whichreflect the rich dynamics of the electromagnetic field in curved space, to obtain new insight intofundamental physics and to pave the way for novel approaches to quantum information processingwith photonic systems.
