Quantum time dilation: A new test of relativistic quantum theory

Quantum Physics 2020-04-28 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

A novel quantum time dilation effect is shown to arise when a clock moves in a quantum superposition of two relativistic velocities. This effect is argued to be measurable using existing atomic interferometry techniques, potentially offering a new test of relativistic quantum theory.
