The Optical HMW Geometric Phase and the Abraham Minkowski Controversy
The Optical HMW Geometric Phase and the Abraham Minkowski Controversy
The question of the correct formulation for the momentum of light in a dielectric medium is typically referred to as the ``Abraham-Minkowski controversy". Experiments conducted to elucidate the issue have primarily focused on measuring forces and momentum transfers. In this work, we propose an interferometric approach using matter waves to …
