The resulting decoherence model implies that the classically mediated gravitational interaction between two gravitationally coupled resonators cannot create entanglement. The gravitational decoherence rate ( and the complementary heating rate) is of the order of the gravitationally induced normal mode splitting of the two resonators. }, doi = {10.1088/1367-2630/16/6/065020}, url = {http://arxiv.org/abs/1401.0946v1}, author = {D.
