• Abstract: Probing quantum mechanics, quantum aspects of general relativity along with the sensing and the constraining of classical gravity can all be enabled by unprecedented spatial sizes of superpositions of massive objects. In this paper, we show that there is a feasible setup sourced by realizable magnetic field gradients ${\cal O}(10-100)$ Tm$^{-1}$ to construct a large spatial superposition of ${\cal O}(10^{-4}-10^{-8})$ m for masses ${\cal O}(10^{-16}-10^{-14})$ kg over a time period of up to $0.1-10$ seconds.

  A novel detector concept exploits the dynamics of quantum phononic excitations in a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) The BEC exhibits sensitivity unique to the two key components of the gravitational potential in $Lambda$-gravity.

• Massive quantum superpositions using magneto-mechanics [0.0]
  We propose two schemes to prepare a spatial superposition of massive quantum oscillator systems with high Q-factor. In the first method, we propose a large spatial superposition of a levitated spherical magnet generated via magnetic forces applied by adjacent flux qubits. In the second method, we propose a large spatial superposition of a magnetically levitated (using the Meissner effect) flux qubit, generated via driving the levitated qubit inductively.

  We will compute the entanglement between position and momentum states for both static and non-static cases. We will also show that if we would prepare non-Gaussian superposition states, e.g. spatial superposition of masses of order $10-14-10-15$kg with a superposition size of $cal O(20)$ micron, we can yield larger concurrence of order $cal O(0.1)$.

  We present a method of achieving a mass-independent enhancement of superposition via diamagnetic repulsion from current-carrying wires. We analyse an example system which uses the Stern-Gerlach effect to create a small initial splitting, and then apply our diamagnetic repulsion method to enhance the superposition size.
