Quantum Mechanical Carrier of the Imprints of Gravitation

TL;DR

This paper identifies a quantum mechanical property, based on wave correlations, that encodes the imprints of gravitation in a relativistic system, independent of mass and reflecting spacetime invariance.

Contribution

It introduces a novel quantum carrier of gravitational imprints using phase and amplitude correlations in relativistic wave systems, independent of mass.

Findings

Correlations form a vector field determined by the Klein-Gordon equation.

The vector field components include Planckian power and thermal fluctuation spectra.

Deviations from this vector field represent the imprints of gravitation.

Abstract

We exhibit a purely quantum mechanical carrier of the imprints of gravitation by identifying for a relativistic system a property which (i) is independent of its mass and (ii) expresses the Poincare invariance of spacetime in the absence of gravitation. This carrier consists of the phase and amplitude correlations of waves in oppositely accelerating frames. These correlations are expressed as a Klein-Gordon-equation-determined vector field whose components are the ``Planckian power'' and the ``r.m.s. thermal fluctuation'' spectra. The imprints themselves are deviations away from this vector field.
