"The two theories that underlie this experiment, general relativity and quantum mechanics, don’t work well together."
The Aharonov-Bohm effect alone is perplexing enough and there isn't full unanimity about the theory that underpins it. That we're seeing a similar effect with gravity is truly exiting as I reckon it will attract a great deal more research in this area.
It seems to me that Aharonov-Bohm effect now has a gravitational parallel tells us that we're honing in closer and closer to having a quantum understanding of gravity.

Excellent stuff.
