Abstract
Free fall in a uniform gravitational field is reexamined in the case of quantum states with and without a classical analogue. The interplay between kinematics and dynamics in the evolution of a falling quantum test particle is discussed allowing for a better understanding of the equivalence principle at the operational level.File in questo prodotto:
