摘要
我们表明,最近关于在可比物理设置下物质波干涉仪比激光干涉仪具有更高灵敏度的说法是没有根据的。我们指出了早期分析中的错误所在。我们还反驳了只有基于测地偏离方程的描述才能产生正确物理结果的说法。这里推导出的线性扰动时空中非相对论性大质量粒子的量子动力学方程,对于处理更广泛的相关物理问题是有用的。我们还对使用原子干涉仪探测引力波进行了概括性讨论。

备注
16 pages, REVTeX4; minor changes, one figure and a few references were added, an additional appendix was included where we explain why, contrary to the claims in gr-qc/0409099, the effects due to the reflection off the mirrors cancel out in the final result for the phase shift
