title = "Breakdown of the equivalence between passive gravitational mass and energy for a quantum body",
abstract = "It is shown that passive gravitational mass operator of a hydrogen atom in the post-Newtonian approximation of general relativity does not commute with its energy operator, taken in the absence of a gravitational field. Nevertheless, the equivalence between the expectation values of passive gravitational mass and energy is shown to survive at a macroscopic level for stationary quantum states. Breakdown of the equivalence between passive gravitational mass and energy at a microscopic level for stationary quantum states can be experimentally detected by studying unusual electromagnetic radiation, emitted by the atoms, supported and moved in the Earth gravitational field with constant velocity using spacecraft or satellite.",
