Gravity and the Quantum: Are they Reconcilable?
, 2005 General relativity and quantum mechanics are conflicting theories. The seeds of discord are the fundamental principles on which these theories are grounded.

On the Precision of a Length Measurement [PDF]
, 2007 We show that quantum mechanics and general relativity imply the existence of a minimal length. To be more precise, we show that no operational device subject to quantum mechanics, general relativity and causality could exclude the discreteness of ...

On the Inaccessibility of Time Machines
Universe, 2023 We will explain why time machines, although allowed in General Relativity, cannot be accessed by observers once we include quantum effects. Moreover, we will show that traversable wormholes cannot be turned into time machines without invoking the effects

Why we need to quantise everything, including gravity
npj Quantum Information, 2017 Why we need to quantise everything, including gravity Quantum gravity—the theory that will merge quantum theory and general relativity—is yet to be found.

Studies of general relativity with quantum sensors
, 2017 We present two projects aiming to probe key aspects of the theory of General Relativity with high-precision quantum sensors. These projects use cold-atom interferometry with the aim of measuring gravitational waves and testing the equivalence principle.

General relativistic effects in quantum interference of photons
, 2012 Quantum mechanics and general relativity have been extensively and independently confirmed in many experiments. However, the interplay of the two theories has never been tested: all experiments that measured the influence of gravity on quantum systems ...

Entanglement decoherence in a gravitational well according to the event formalism
New Journal of Physics, 2014 The event formalism is a nonlinear extension of quantum field theory designed to be compatible with the closed time-like curves that appear in general relativity.

On the assumptions leading to the information loss paradox
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 The information loss paradox is usually stated as an incompatibility between general relativity and quantum mechanics. However, the assumptions leading to the problem are often overlooked and, in fact, a careful inspection of the main hypothesises ...

Quantum Gravity from General Relativity [PDF]
, 2021 Although general relativity is a predictively successful theory, it treats matter as classical rather than as quantum. For this reason, it will have to be replaced by a more fundamental quantum theory of gravity. Attempts to formulate a quantum theory of gravity suggest that such a theory may have radical consequences for the nature, and indeed the ...

On Firewalls in quantum-corrected General Relativity [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2019 Abstract We consider the information loss paradox at different angles, from the standard semi-classical approximation of General Relativity to the recently proposed scenarios of black holes evolution caused by effects of gravity quantization.
