Description
The search for a quantum theory of gravity is one of the main challenges of modern physics. One major challenge is the lack of observable signatures that can guide theoretical developments. But in recent years, the interplay between quantum physics and general relativity at low energies has emerged as a promising new cross-disciplinary research field. The rapid progress in experimental control of quantum systems at novel scales, and a fresh quantum information perspective, have opened new opportunities for table-top tests to shine some light on this mostly unexplored regime of physics. In this lecture series, I will discuss some examples of this new field, from tests of Post-Newtonian quantum dynamics to quantum gravity phenomenology.
