| contents | Electromagnetic memory is an infrared observable of gauge theory associated with soft photons and large gauge transformations. Despite its fundamental theoretical importance, it has not yet been experimentally verified. From a phenomenological perspective, a transient electromagnetic configuration can leave a persistent gauge-invariant phase imprint on charged coherent states after the local field has vanished. We point out that the electric field and associated gauge potential induced inside a normal conductor by gravitational acceleration can provide a clean source for imprinting this phase, and it can then be read out through a superconducting protocol. For representative parameters, the predicted signal can lie within the range of present sensitivities, providing a possible tabletop route toward testing electromagnetic memory. |
