“…Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) offers an attractive means for satisfying the high-capacity transmission. 1) For optical implementation of WDM networks, logical functionalities such as wavelength channel selection should be carried out in the wavelength domain; namely, development of dynamic optical devices is required. 2,3) One key device is a tunable optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM).…”

Recently, a model of metric fluctuations has been proposed which yields an effective Schrödinger equation for a quantum particle with a modified inertial mass, leading to a violation of the weak equivalence principle. The renormalization of the inertial mass tensor results from a local space average over the fluctuations of the metric over a fixed background metric. Here, we demonstrate that the metric fluctuations of this model lead to a further physical effect, namely to an effective decoherence of the quantum particle. We derive a quantum master equation for the particle's density matrix, discuss in detail its dissipation and decoherence properties, and estimate the corresponding decoherence timescales. By contrast to other models discussed in the literature, in the present approach the metric fluctuations give rise to a decay of the coherences in the energy representation, i.e., to a localization in energy space.
