The gravitational force comes into nontrivial play due to the existence of an extra mass in the set-up that transforms an incoherent state to a coherent state. The implication uses the fact that quantum coherence at a certain site cannot be altered by local actions at a separate site. The ability to transform an incoherent state to a coherent one in the presence of gravitational field provides a signature of quantumness of gravity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-09-16T14:42:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantumness", "quantum coherence", "incoherent state", "gravitational force comes", "gravitational field" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
