An interesting connection between special relativity and quantum mechanics was put forward by Louis de Broglie, about 60 years ago, who focused on the link between synchronization in a rotating frame and the quantization of the angular momentum. Here we generalise his approach to curved spacetime, using the gravitoelectromag- netic analogy, which can be applied to describe the weak gravitational field around rotating sources, and give a new interpretation of the results.

Abstract

An interesting connection between special relativity and quantum mechanics was put forward by Louis de Broglie, about 60 years ago, who focused on the link between synchronization in a rotating frame and the quantization of the angular momentum. Here we generalise his approach to curved spacetime, using the gravitoelectromag- netic analogy, which can be applied to describe the weak gravitational field around rotating sources, and give a new interpretation of the results.
