Contents:
1. Quantum Systems In Gravitational Fields. Berry Phases -- 2. The Mashhoon Eect. Spin-Gravity Interactions -- 3. Interferometers in Gravitational Fields -- 4. Neutrinos in Gravitational Fields -- 5. Neutrinos Physics: further topics -- 6. Radiative Processes, Spin Currents, Vortices -- 7. Other developments -- 8. Perspectives -- 9. Conclusions.
Summary: This book seeks to present a new way of thinking about the interaction of gravitational fields with quantum systems. Despite the massive amounts of research and experimentation, the myriad meetings, seminars and conferences, all of the articles, treatises and books, and the seemingly endless theorization, quantization and just plain speculation that have been engaged in regarding our evolving understanding of the quantum world, that world remains an enigma, even to the experts. The usefulness of general relativity in this regard has proven to be imperfect at best, but there is a new approach. We do not simply have to accept the limitations of Einstein's most celebrated theorem in regard to quantum theory; we can also embrace them, and thereby utilize them, to reveal new facts about the behavior of quantum systems within inertial and gravitational fields, and therefore about the very structure of spacetime at the quantum level. By taking existing knowledge of the essential functionality of spin (along with the careful identification of the omnipresent inertial effects) and applying it to the quantum world, the book gives the reader a much clearer picture of the difference between the classical and quantum behaviors of a particle, shows that Einstein's ideas may not be as incompatible within this realm as many have come to believe, sparks new revelations of the way in which gravity affects quantum systems and brings a new level of efficiencyquantum efficiency, if you willto the study of gravitational theory.
