Answer by Ruslan for Does quantum mechanics violate the equivalence principle?
I'll take weak equivalence principle in the formulation as given on Wikipedia page:The local effects of motion in a curved space (gravitation) are indistinguishable from those of an accelerated...

The problem only arises when considering energy eigenstates, which are completely delocalized. One of the tenets of the equivalence principle is that the equivalence between gravitational systems and...

If Quantum Mechanics violates the equivalence principle then this would mean that Einstein's theory is wrong. But we know from experiments (Gravity Probe B...etc) that Einstein's theory is not wrong....
