Abstract

Recently, numerical simulations showed that X-ray photons emitted by accretion disks acquire rotation of polarization angle and orbital angular momentum due to strong gravitational field in the vicinity of the rotating black holes. Based on these two degrees of freedom we construct a bipartite two-level quantum system of the accretion disk's photons. To characterize the quantum states of this composite system we consider linear entropy for the reduced density matrix of polarization with the intention to exploit its direct relation with the photons degree of polarization. Accordingly, the minimum degree of polarization of X-ray radiation located in the transition region of the accretion disk indicates a high value of the linear entropy for the photons emitted on this region, inferring a high degree of entanglement in the composite system. We emphasize that for an extreme rotating black hole in the thermal state, the photons with energies at the thermal peak are maximally entangled in polarization and orbital angular momentum, leading to the creation of all four Bell states. Detection and measurement of quantum information encoded in photons emitted in the accretion disk around rotating black holes may be performed by actual quantum information technology.

Yukawa coupling and one loop inflation in the light of CMB

The one loop inflation stemming from the superstring theory and associated Yukawa coupling arising from supersymmetric interactions is examined with CMB. The Yukawa coupling can exist beyond standard model particle physics sector. The tensor-to-scalar ratio of the loop inflation is found consistent with the recent CMB results for the Yukawa coupling from cosmology. The alternative constraint on the Yukawa coupling from loop inflation may play a crucial role in validating inflationary model originating from supersymmetry and string theory. The outcomes of the study may be helpful in the phenomenological realisation of string theory.

Phase Encoding of Genuine Three-Body Interactions in a Relativistic Dirac System in $1+1$ Dimensions

We show how genuine three-body phase information can enter the invariant mass of a relativistic three-particle Dirac system in $(1+1)$ dimensions. As a solvable reference system, we consider the Sakamoto--Munakata--Ino model with pairwise contact interactions $g_{ij}(1-α_iα_j)δ(x_i-x_j)$. These singular interactions can be transferred into sector-dependent phases and matching conditions by a discontinuous unitary transformation. Although the explicit contact terms are thereby removed, the nonzero constituent-mass operator is rotated and retains nontrivial spectral information. We introduce a genuine three-body holonomy generated by $Q_3=α_1α_2α_3$. The kinetic and pair-interaction parts commute with $Q_3$, while the constituent-mass operator anticommutes with it. Consequently, the massless system separates into the $Q_3=\pm1$ sectors, which acquire opposite holonomy phases $e^{\pm iθ_3}$, whereas nonzero constituent masses mix the two sectors. This phase-sector-mixing mechanism makes the relative three-body phase dynamically accessible to the bound-state spectrum and establishes an operator-level mechanism through which the three-body holonomy generates a $θ_3$ dependence of the physical three-body invariant mass. We further emphasize that the topological three-body holonomy is not automatically equivalent to a bare triple-contact potential; such an equivalence requires a regulated self-adjoint realization and a compatible interaction-dependent boost satisfying the Poincaré algebra. The resulting framework therefore connects genuine three-body phase information to the mass spectrum of a relativistic composite system while clearly separating the controlled holonomy construction from the unresolved short-distance triple-contact realization.

"The Information as Absolute" Concept and Basic Physics

This paper is the presentation of the 2007-2026 Planck scale informational physical model, which is based on philosophical "The Information as Absolute" concept, which was formulated mainly in 2007. In the concept it is rigorously proven that nothing exists besides some informational patterns/systems of the patterns that are elements of the absolutely fundamental, and absolutely infinite, "Information" Set. Thus Matter for sure is nothing else than some informational system of informational patterns (sub-systems) - particles, fields, bodies, etc. The other fundamental base of the model is the outstanding findings of von Weizsacker and Fredkin-Toffli, who proved that Matter is based on some binary logics ("UR hypothesis"), and that if a system consists of reversible elements, then this system doesn't dissipate energy outside, whereas the conception above makes these findings as completely natural. That allowed to define scientifically a number of fundamental phenomena/notions, first of all "Space", "Time", "Matter", "Energy", "Inertia", and so to solve, or essentially to clarify, a number of fundamental physical problems, considering everything in Matter as some specific disturbances in Matter's ultimate base - dense lattice of fundamental logical elements (FLE) that is placed in real Matter(here utmost universal "kinematical") [5]4D spacetime) - what are particles and antiparticles, what are physical senses of basic equations ib kinematics, first of all of Lorents transformations and in dynamics., etc.
