Scientific paper

The problem of finding the quantum mechanical phase associated with the propagation of a particle in a given external gravitational field is considered. An expression is obtained that makes it possible to calculate the gravitationally induced phase on a free traveling particle in the case of a weak field. The formula obtained has the expected Newtonian limit and is used to calculate effects in matter wave interferometry, such as those due to gravitational waves and the 'dragging of the ether frame' by rotating bodies. Matter and light wave interferometries are compared for various cases.
