由本-古里安大学物理学家罗恩·福尔曼领导的国际研究团队成功构建了一台新型干涉仪，首次能够测试量子力学与爱因斯坦重力理论是否存在矛盾 1。
该干涉仪为单个原子提供两条可能路径——一条涉及自由下落，另一条保持静止 1。这两条路径在相同时间和地点汇合 1，使研究团队能够测量重力对原子波动性质的影响 1。罗恩·福尔曼表述道："每个粒子，无论是汽车、宇宙飞船还是原子，都是波" 1。
这项研究汇聚了来自德国、英国和美国的合作者，包括诺贝尔奖得主罗杰·彭罗斯 1。
An international research team led by physicist Ron Folman at Ben-Gurion University has successfully constructed a new type of interferometer capable of testing whether quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of gravity are fundamentally incompatible 1. The device represents the first experimental capability in nearly a century to probe potential contradictions between these two pillars of modern physics 1.
The interferometer works by providing individual atoms with two possible paths: one involving free fall and another remaining completely stationary 1. These paths reconverge at the same time and location, enabling researchers to measure how gravity affects the wave-like properties of atoms 1. The research collaboration includes Nobel laureate Roger Penrose and partners from Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States 1.
Folman described the fundamental principle underlying the work, stating that "every particle, whether it is a car, a spaceship, or an atom, is a wave" 1.
