Quantum gravity effects on telecommunication systems: Generalized uncertainty principle-induced distortions and interference-based correction

In this paper, we investigate the phenomenological impact of quantum gravity on telecommunication systems by incorporating the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) into the propagation of electromagnetic waves. By introducing corrections to wave parameters derived from GUP-modified momentum operators, we analyze signal behavior across optical fiber, laser, satellite, and interstellar communication platforms. Our aim is not to formulate or test a new version of the GUP, but rather to explore how an established GUP framework may influence practical wave-based technologies. To this end, we propose a novel interference-based correction scheme that compensates for GUP-induced phase distortions, allowing a direct comparison between quantum gravity affected and gravity-neutralized signals. Interestingly, our results show that at high deformation parameters [Formula: see text], GUP-modified waveforms remain stable within standard telecommunication bands, whereas neutralized signals deviate significantly suggesting that quantum gravity effects may, unexpectedly, enhance rather than degrade phase coherence. These findings indicate that Planck-scale corrections could produce measurable effects in engineered systems and outline a viable route toward experimental tests of quantum gravity using high-precision photonic technologies.
