abstract

A simple tabletop setup based on a superconducting quantum interference device is proposed for testing the gravitational interaction. A D-shaped superconducting loop has the straight segment immersed inside a massive sphere while the half-circle segment is wrapped around the sphere. The superconducting condensate within the straight arm of the loop thus bathes inside a gravitational simple harmonic oscillator potential while the condensate in the half-circle arm bathes in the constant gravitational potential around the sphere. The resulting phase difference at the Josephson junctions on both sides of the straight arm induces a sinusoidal electric current that has a frequency determined by the precise gravitational potential due to the massive sphere.

  • Landau levels in a gravitational field: The Schwarzschild spacetime case gr-qc · 2019-09-02 · conditional · none · ref 11 · internal anchor

    In Schwarzschild spacetime, a weak gravitational field splits Landau levels by an amount proportional to GMm times the square root of the magnetic field, with explicit Yukawa, power-law, and relativistic corrections derived.
