Einstein's Equivalence Principle Passes a Quantum Test
The measurements matched predictions from Einstein's equivalence principle, but the researchers said the result does not unify quantum mechanics and gravity.

Physicists Catch Gravity Shaping a Quantum Wave for the First Time
Physicists measured a gravity-induced quantum phase shift in freely falling atoms for the first time. The result confirms Einstein’s equivalence principle holds in the quantum regime and matches long-standing predictions. The experiment used a novel interferometer on ultracold rubidium atoms and provides a concrete link between the two fundamental theories without claiming unification.
Researchers used rubidium atoms and the Quantum Galileo Interferometer to prove that Einstein's Equivalence Principle is absolutely valid in quantum systems.
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
