Quantum Interference Effects in Spacetime of Slowly Rotating Compact Objects in Braneworld

preprint2009arXivOpen access

Abstract

The phase shift a neutron interferometer caused by the gravitational field and the rotation of the earth is derived in a unified way from the standpoint of general relativity. General relativistic quantum interference effects in the slowly rotating braneworld as the Sagnac effect and phase shift effect of interfering particle in neutron interferometer are considered. It was found that in the case of the Sagnac effect the influence of brane parameter is becoming important due to the fact that the angular velocity of the locally non rotating observer must be larger than one in the Kerr space-time. In the case of neutron interferometry it is found that due to the presence of the parameter Q∗Q^{*} an additional term in the phase shift of interfering particle emerges from the results of the recent experiments we have obtained upper limit for the tidal charge as Q∗≲107cm2Q^{*}\lesssim 10^{7} \rm{cm}^{2}. Finally, as an example, we apply the obtained results to the calculation of the (ultra-cold neutrons) energy level modification in the braneworld.
