Spin Decoherence in a Gravitational Field
We discuss a mechanism of spin decoherence in gravitation within the framework of general relativity. The spin state of a particle moving in a gravitational field is shown to decohere due to the curvature of spacetime. As an example, we analyze a particle going around a static spherically-symmetric object. PACS: 03.65.Ta, 04.20.-q, 03.67.-a
متن کاملDecoherence and quantum mechanics in a gravitational field
Quantum mechanical interference of wave functions leads to some difficulties if a probability density is considered as a source of gravity. We show that an introduction of a quantum energy-momentum tensor as a source term in Einstein equations can be consistent with general relativity if the gravitational waves are quantized.

متن کاملKinematic interpretation of string instability in a background gravitational field
The unstable regime in which the string oscillating modes develop imaginary frequencies is shown to be characterized, kinematically, by a positive relative acceleration among the different points of the string. Instability occurs when this acceleration, induced by the background curvature, is large enough to make the extension of the corresponding causally connected region smaller than the stri...
متن کاملThe gravitational field of a light wave
According to the classical Einstein-Maxwell theory of gravity and electromagnetism, a light-wave traveling in empty space-time is accompanied by a gravitational field of the pp-type. Therefore point masses are scattered by a light wave, even if they carry no electric or magnetic charge, or dipole moment. In this paper I present the explicit form of the metric and curvature for both circularly a...
متن کاملCharged particles with spin in a gravitational wave and a uniform magnetic field
We study the motion of a pseudo-classical charged particle with spin in the space-time of a gravitational pp wave in the presence of a uniform magnetic field.
