• Abstract: Here we discuss an influence of an external weak gravitational field on the gravitational self-decoherence effect with help of the stochastic extension of regularized Shr\"odinger-Newton equation in a curved background. We derive the master equation and demonstrate that it leads to the experimentally verifiable conclusions about applicability of the classical description of the weak gravitation field. Namely, a presence of oscillating terms in the otherwise purely exponential decay of the coherence would indicate classicality of gravity for the case.

  We employ linearized quantum gravity to show that gravitational redshift occurs as a purely quantum process. Redshift occurs as predicted by general relativity but arises in flat spacetime in the absence of curvature. Results can help improve our understanding of the quantum nature of gravity in the low energy and low curvature regime.

While the current precision for observations of ultracold neutrons may not yet enable to probe them, they could still be relevant in the future or in alternative circumstances.

• Decoherence-Free Entropic Gravity for Dirac Fermion [0.0]
  One of the main criticisms of entropic gravity is that it would lead to quantum massive particles losing coherence in free fall. A nonrelativistic master equation modeling gravity as an open quantum system interaction demonstrated that in the strong coupling limit, coherence could be maintained. Motivated by this, we extend these results to gravitationally accelerating Dirac fermions.

On the other hand, beyond the Newtonian approximation, the relativistic nature of gravity plays a crucial role.
