Equation 7 · Part 2 · How Much of Gravitationally Induced Entanglement Is in the Eye of the Frame
Both masses on L
What this part means
The gravitational phase when A takes its L branch and B takes its L branch. It enters with a plus sign in the invariant combination.
Its job in the formula
The LL phase is added to the RR phase so matching-path contributions can be compared with crossed-path contributions.

The passage around this formula
None of this makes the experiment ambiguous, and this is the paper’s second and sharper result. The branch separations that enter the gravitational phase each mass’s superposition picks up are relational quantities — distances between mass A’s branches and mass B’s branches — and relational quantities do not change when you change which system you have designated the reference frame. Write = G t / ( ) for the phase a pair of branches i,j \{L,R\} accumulates over interaction time t at separation , with G Newton’s constant and the reduced Planck constant. Three of the four possible combinations of these branch-pair phases can always be removed…
Learn the underlying idea
A quantum phase is an angle attached to a complex amplitude. One path’s phase can be changed by convention; phase differences between alternative paths can change interference and entanglement.
