Quantum Sources of Gravity

Nov 11. 2026, 14:30 — 15:00

Experimental searches for quantum gravity signatures are motivated by a simple question: can we observe gravitational phenomena that cannot be described by our current classical theory of gravity, i.e. GR? I will review some of the current approaches to realize quantum sources of gravity in the lab and discuss hard experimental limits on future experiments.
