It proposes novel thought experiments showing that proper time can display quantum features, e.g. when a ?clock? runs different proper times in superposition. The resulting new physical effects can be tested in near-future laboratory experiments (with atoms, molecules and photons as "clocks"). The notion of time holds the key to the regime where quantum theory and general relativity overlap, which has not been directly tested yet and remains largely unexplored by the theory. The framework also applies to scenarios in which causal relations between events become non-classical and which were previously considered impossible to address without refuting quantum theory. The relativistic quantum "clock" framework offers new insights into the foundations of quantum theory and general relativity. . 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aGravitation 606 $aPhysics 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 0$aGravitation. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 14$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory. 615 24$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 676 $a530 700 $aZych$b Magdalena$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0823869 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163993703321 996 $aQuantum Systems under Gravitational Time Dilation$91833108 997 $aUNINA
