Abstract: (APS)
Neutron interferometry has been performed on an accelerated interferometer under conditions where gravitational effects on the interfering beams very nearly compensate each other. The observed neutron phase shift is found to be in excellent agreement with that calculated from Schr\"odinger's equation transformed to the accelerated frame where it is found essential to include the spherical wave aspect. The present experiment thus verifies the validity of the classical transformation laws for noninertial frames also in the quantum limit.References(0)
