Phys. Rev. D 55, 455–462 (1997)Testing the equivalence principle through freely falling quantum objectsReceived 16 July 1996; published in the issue dated 15 January 1997 Free fall in a uniform gravitational field is reexamined in the case of quantum states with and without a classical analogue. The interplay between kinematics and dynamics in the evolution of a falling quantum test particle is discussed allowing for a better understanding of the equivalence principle at the operational level. © 1997 The American Physical Society URL:
