Abstract
The Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of excited states, provides a different platform to explore the interplay between gravity and quantum physics. In this Letter, we study the response of excited-state BECs to an external gravitational field and their dynamics under gravity when space is expanding. We reveal the anomalous response of the center-of-mass of the BEC to the gravitational field and the exotic gravity-induced accelerating expansion phenomena. We demonstrate that these effects result from the interplay among gravity, space and quantum effects. We also propose related experiments to observe these anomalies.
