Description

We give a short overview of the gravity resonance spectroscopy methods used recently by the qBounce experiment. It has been demonstrated that mechanically induced transitions between bound neutron states in the gravitational field can be observed. Applications of this new method test Newton's gravity law, search for extra dimensions of space-time, and study the neutrality of the neutron.
