Long-Predicted Gravitational Effect Seen In A Quantum Object For The Very First Time – Einstein’s Theory Passes Another Crucial Test

Summary by IFLScience
Probing the seams where quantum mechanics meets general relativity.

11 Articles

Physicists have proven a 100-year-old prediction of relativity by showing that Einstein's equivalence principle remains true at the quantum scale.

Modern physics sits on two fundamental pillars. On the one hand, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity describes how objects fall and how gravity [...]

Precision measurements of an international research team on ultracold quantum gases provide results that could help to further read one of the last big puzzles on t3n.de

Gravity on a quantum scale: For the first time, physicists have measured the predicted quantum phase of a freely falling object directly. With around 20,000 ultracold rubidium atoms, the observed phase development up to a few percent agrees with the theoretical predictions. This is based on the application of Einstein's equivalence principle to quantum waves in the tested area, without quantizing gravity itself. Oxford [...] The article Einstein…
