Resumo

Explaining the behavior of macroscopic objects from the point of view of the quantum paradigm has challenged the scientific community for the past century. A mechanism of gravitational self-interaction, governed by the so-called Schrodinger-Newton equation, is among the proposals that aim to shed some light on it. Despite all efforts, this mechanism has been proven difficult to probe. Here, we consider a Stern-Gerlach-like experiment to try it out. The Schrodinger-Newton equation can be analytically solved under certain proper conditions, and a change-of-phase effect induced by the gravitational self-interacting potential can be calculated.
