Realization of a complete Stern-Gerlach interferometer: Toward a test of quantum gravity. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Adv, 2021
A full-loop Stern-Gerlach atom interferometer is realized, opening perspectives to examine the quantum nature of gravity. The Stern-Gerlach effect, found a century ago, has become a paradigm of quantum mechanics.

Bohmian quantum gravity and cosmology [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Bohmian Mechanics, 2019
Quantum gravity aims to describe gravity in quantum mechanical terms. How exactly this needs to be done remains an open question. Various proposals have been put on the table, such as canonical quantum gravity, loop quantum gravity, string theory, etc ...

Quantum Gravity: Has Spacetime Quantum Properties? [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2009
The incompatibility between GR and QM is generally seen as a sufficient motivation for the development of a theory of Quantum Gravity. If - so a typical argumentation - QM gives a universally valid basis for the description of all natural systems, then the gravitational field should have quantum properties.

Lattice Quantum Gravity from Stochastic 3-Geometries

open access: green, 1995
I propose the Langevin equation for 3-geometries in the Ashtekar's formalism to describe 4D Euclidean quantum gravity, in the sense that the corresponding Fokker-Planck hamiltonian recovers the hamiltonian in 4D quantum gravity exactly.

A short review of loop quantum gravity [PDF]

open access: yesReports on progress in physics. Physical Society, 2021
An outstanding open issue in our quest for physics beyond Einstein is the unification of general relativity (GR) and quantum physics. Loop quantum gravity (LQG) is a leading approach toward this goal.

Quantum Gravity in 30 Questions [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of Corfu Summer Institute 2021 "School and Workshops on Elementary Particle Physics and Gravity" — PoS(CORFU2021), 2022
Quantum gravity is the missing piece in our understanding of the fundamental interactions today. Given recent observational breakthroughs in gravity, providing a quantum theory for what lies beyond general relativity is more urgent than ever.

Exploiting Anyonic Behavior of Quasicrystals for Topological Quantum Computing

open access: yesSymmetry, 2022
The concrete realization of topological quantum computing using low-dimensional quasiparticles, known as anyons, remains one of the important challenges of quantum computing. A topological quantum computing platform promises to deliver more robust qubits

Spherically symmetric loop quantum gravity: analysis of improved dynamics [PDF]

open access: yesClassical and quantum gravity, 2020
We study the ‘improved dynamics’ for the treatment of spherically symmetric space-times in loop quantum gravity introduced by Chiou et al in analogy with the one that has been constructed by Ashtekar, Pawlowski and Singh for the homogeneous space-times ...

Black hole collapse and bounce in effective loop quantum gravity [PDF]

open access: yesClassical and quantum gravity, 2020
We derive effective equations with loop quantum gravity corrections for the Lemaître–Tolman–Bondi family of space-times, and use these to study quantum gravity effects in the Oppenheimer–Snyder collapse model.

Quantum Gravity: A Fluctuating Point of View [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers of Physics, 2020
In this contribution, we discuss the asymptotic safety scenario for quantum gravity with a functional renormalization group approach that disentangles dynamical metric fluctuations from the background metric.
