Massive quantum systems as interfaces of quantum mechanics and gravity

S Bose, I Fuentes, AA Geraci, SM Khan… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
The traditional view from particle physics is that quantum gravity effects should only become
detectable at extremely high energies and small length scales. Due to the significant …

Killing horizons decohere quantum superpositions

DL Danielson, G Satishchandran, RM Wald - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We recently showed that if a massive (or charged) body is put in a quantum spatial
superposition, the mere presence of a black hole in its vicinity will eventually decohere the …

Any consistent coupling between classical gravity and quantum matter is fundamentally irreversible

TD Galley, F Giacomini, JH Selby - Quantum, 2023 - quantum-journal.org
When gravity is sourced by a quantum system, there is tension between its role as the
mediator of a fundamental interaction, which is expected to acquire nonclassical features …

Large-scale atom interferometry for fundamental physics

O Buchmueller, J Ellis, U Schneider - Contemporary Physics, 2023 - Taylor & Francis
Atom interferometers measure quantum interference patterns in the wave functions of cold
