In qm the intensity (energy density) of an EM wave is compared to
the probability of finding a particle at a certain position in space
at a certain time.For a particle that isn't moving, according to general relativity,
Too = energy density and energy density gives curvature of space time.

So can the curvature of space-time be related to the probability of
one particle being at a certain distance from another?
Would a particle be most likely to be found where the curvature of
space-time is greatest?

This is very ambitious, you are taking results out of QM and apply them (or compare them with) general relativity.

If I were you, consult this person... :biggrin:

PS : I think your question will have the answer that such connections cannot be made, so forget about it... :smile:

You can say Gravitation instead Curvature. The case with the random gravitational fields or the random curved space was discuss here and here was the reference to arXiv papers. I cannot remember now this number.
