Experimental test of photonic entanglement in accelerated reference frames

The unification of the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics is a long-standing challenge in physics. Here the authors investigate the effects of a wide range of accelerations on an entangled photon pair, providing an upper bound for the effects of non-inertial frames on quantum systems.
