M0c2Δτ/ℏM_0c^2\Delta\tau/\hbar

Why this formula appears here

The shared M0M_0c2c^2Δ\Deltaτ\tau/ℏ\hbar term, common to both arms, is an overall phase and drops out of any interference signal — consistent with the rule that only relative phase between branches is ever observable. What survives is a clock-visible term set entirely by the internal-energy difference, first proposed as an observable interferometric signature of general-relativistic proper time by Zych, Costa, Pikovski, and Brukner [ 10 ] , and later reframed explicitly as a quantum analogue of the twin paradox by Loriani and collaborators [ 11 ] .
