Decoherence-Free Entropic Gravity for Dirac Fermion
Eric J. Sung, Andre G. Campos, Hartmut Abele +1
The theory of entropic gravity conjectures that gravity emerges thermodynamically rather than being a fundamental force. One of the main criticisms of entropic gravity is that it w…
Green's function analysis of the Neutron Lloyd interferometer
Christian Käding, Mario Pitschmann, Hartmut Abele
The neutron optical Lloyd interferometer can serve as a potent experiment for probing fundamental physics beyond the standard models of particles and cosmology. In this article, we…
Spectra of Neutron Wave Functions in Earth's Gravitational Field
Martin Suda, Manfried Faber, Joachim Bosina +5
The time evolution of a quantum wave packet in the linear gravity potential is known as Quantum Bouncing Ball. The qBounce collaboration recently observed such a system by dropping…
Decoherence-Free Entropic Gravity: Model and Experimental Tests
Alex J. Schimmoller, Gerard McCaul, Hartmut Abele +1
Erik Verlinde's theory of entropic gravity [arXiv:1001.0785], postulating that gravity is not a fundamental force but rather emerges thermodynamically, has garnered much attention…
Tests of Fundamental Quantum Mechanics and Dark Interactions with Low Energy Neutrons -- Extended Version
Stephan Sponar, Rene I. P. Sedmik, Mario Pitschmann +2
Among the known particles, the neutron takes a special position, as it provides experimental access to all four fundamental forces and a wide range of hypothetical interactions. De…
Schrödinger Equation for a Non-Relativistic Particle in a Gravitational Field confined by Two Vibrating Mirrors
Mario Pitschmann, Hartmut Abele
We derive approximate analytical solutions for a particle in a homogenous gravitational field and confined between two independently vibrating mirrors. This constitutes an extensio…
Chirped-Frequency Excitation of Gravitationally Bound Ultracold Neutrons
Giovanni Manfredi, Omar Morandi, Lazar Friedland +2
Ultracold neutrons confined in the Earth's gravitational field display quantized energy levels that have been observed for over a decade. In recent resonance spectroscopy experimen…
GRANIT project: a trap for gravitational quantum states of UCN
G. Pignol, K. V. Protasov, D. Rebreyend +22
Previous studies of gravitationally bound states of ultracold neutrons showed the quantization of energy levels, and confirmed quantum mechanical predictions for the average size o…
Quantum motion of a neutron in a wave-guide in the gravitational field
A. Yu. Voronin, H. Abele, S. Baessler +4
We study theoretically the quantum motion of a neutron in a horizontal wave-guide in the gravitational field of the Earth. The wave-guide in question is equipped with a mirror belo…
