Free‐Fall Non‐Universality in Quantum Theory

Abstract: The author show by embodying the Einstein equivalence principle—local Poincaré invariance—and general covariance in quantum theory that wave‐function spreading rules out the universality of free fall, that is, the free‐fall trajectory of a quantum (test) particle depends on its internal properties. The author provide a quantitative estimate of the free‐fall non‐universality in terms of the Eötvös parameter, which turns out to be measurable in atom interferometry.
