Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The acceleration operators are derived for a spin-zero quantum particle near an observation point which is at rest in a static, spherically symmetric gravitational field. The expectation value of the acceleration of the center of gravity of an arbitrary wave packet is found.
