Description
Understanding how quantum systems interact gravitationally remains an important open problem at the interface of quantum theory and general relativity. While a complete theory of quantum gravity is still lacking, valuable insight can be gained by studying quantum matter coupled to gravity in the weak field regime. In this work we investigate the gravitational interaction of quantum systems within the framework of linearized gravity. Attention is also given to situations in which the reference frame itself is associated with a quantum system. In this regard we explore how gravitational interactions are described when transformations between such frames are considered, and discuss the implications for frame-independent physical quantities.
