The strong equivalence principle is a cornerstone of general relativity, tested with exquisite accuracy in the Solar system. However, tests in the strong-field regime require a compact object. Currently, PSR J0337+1715 is the unique…
The Qweak experiment has measured the parity-violating asymmetry in polarized e-p elastic scattering at Q^2 = 0.025(GeV/c)^2, employing 145 microamps of 89% longitudinally polarized electrons on a 34.4cm long liquid hydrogen target at…
Bell's theorem applies to the normalizable approximations of the original Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) state. The constructions of the proof require measurements difficult to perform, and dichotomic observables. By noticing the fact that…
The MOLLER experiment will measure the weak charge of the electron, $Q^e_W = 1 - 4\sin^2\theta_W$, with a precision of 2.3% by measuring the parity-violating asymmetry in electron-electron (M\oller) scattering. This measurement will provide…
To date, no framework combining quantum field theory and general relativity and hence unifying all four fundamental interactions, exists. Violations of the Einstein's equivalence principle (EEP), being the foundation of general relativity,…
The Cube versus Cube test is a variant of the well-known Plane versus Plane test of Raz and Safra, in which to each $3$-dimensional affine subspace $C$ of $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, a polynomial of degree at most $d$, $T(C)$, is assigned in a…
Theories of gravity that incorporate new scalar degrees of freedom typically require screening mechanisms to ensure consistency with Solar System tests. One widely-studied mechanism -- the chameleon -- can lead to violations of the…
The validity of General Relativity, after 100 years, is supported by solid experimental evidence. However, there is a lot of interest in pushing the limits of precision by other experiments. Here we focus our attention on the equivalence…
