Abstract
Due to their shared abelian gauge structure, Teleparallel Gravity and Electromagnetism are similar in several aspects. By analogy to the phase-factor approach to Maxwell’s theory, a teleparallel non-integrable phase-factor formalism for gravitation can be developed. It represents the quantum mechanical version of the classical gravitational force, and leads to simple descriptions of the Colella-Overhauser-Werner experiment and of the gravitational Aharonov-Bohm effect. In the classical (non-quantum) limit, it reduces to the force equation of Teleparallel Gravity.
