Quantum systems in weak gravitational fields
Fully covariant wave equations predict the existence of a class of
inertial-gravitational effects that can be tested experimentally. In these
equations inertia and gravity appear as external classical fields, but, by
conforming to general relativity, provide very valuable information on how
Einstein's views carry through in the world of the quantum.Comment: 22 pages. To be published in Proceedings of the 17th Course of the
