Abstract
In Classical Dynamics, Eisenhart lift connects the dynamics of null geodesics in a Brinkmann spacetime with a continuous family of Hamiltonian systems by means of a suitable projection. In this work we explore the possibility of building a model for quantum dynamics of massless particles propagating inside a Brinkmann spacetime from the Einsenhart lift. As a result, we describe spatial tunneling between regions classically disconnected for certain class of null geodesics because of curvature. Also we describe entangled states arising from observers who have a limited access to the whole Brinkmann space. Finally we explore the possibility to find a quantum field theory behind these quantum phenomena.
