Abstract: D. Carney et al. [https://doi.org/10.1103/PRXQuantum.2.030330] suggest the use of a trapped atom interferometer combined with a mechanical oscillator to test certain theories combining quantum mechanics with gravity. We construct an entanglement witness applicable to the stated interferometer-oscillator setup. We also investigate the effects of atomic dephasing and thermal noise on the practical use of this entanglement witness in an experimental implementation of such a system.
