量子体引力质量与能量等价性的破裂:理论与实验

Breakdown of the Equivalence between Gravitational Mass and Energy for a Quantum Body: Theory and Suggested Experiments

Andrei G. Lebed

摘要:

本文综述了复合量子体的引力质量与能量之间的等价性以及复合量子体在宏观和微观两个层次上的破裂的理论结果。特别地,我们讨论了被动和主动引力质量算符的期望值与氢原子中电子定态量子态的能量期望值的等价性。另一方面,对于静止量子态的叠加,引力质量和能量之间的不等价性出现在宏观水平。它揭示了被动和主动引力质量的期望值随时间变化的振荡,原则上可以通过实验测量。被动引力质量和能量在微观水平上的不相等性可以作为不寻常的电磁辐射在实验中观察到,由原子的宏观系综发射。我们提出了相应的实验,这可以在地球轨道上进行,使用小型航天器。如果这样的实验得以完成,这将是广义相对论中第一次直接观察到量子效应。

英文摘要:

We review recent theoretical results, obtained for the equivalence between gravitational mass and energy of a composite quantum body as well as for its breakdown at macroscopic and microscopic levels. In particular, we discuss that the expectation values of passive and active gravitational masses operators are equivalent to the expectation value of energy for electron stationary quantum states in a hydrogen atom. On the other hand, for superpositions of the stationary quantum states, inequivalence between the gravitational masses and energy appears at a macroscopic level. It reveals itself as time-dependent oscillations of the expectation values of passive and active gravitational masses, which can be, in principle, experimentally measured. Inequivalence between passive gravitational mass and energy at a microscopic level can be experimentally observed as unusual electromagnetic radiation, emitted by a macroscopic ensemble of the atoms. We propose the corresponding experiment, which can be done on the Earth's orbit, using small spacecraft. If such experiment is done it would be the first direct observation of quantum effects in general relativity.
