Paths in an appropriate geometry are usually used as trajectories of test particles in geometric theories of gravity. It is shown that non-symmetric geometries possess some interesting quantum features. Without carrying out any quantization…
We argue that the ordinary commutative-and-associative algebra of spacetime coordinates (familiar from general relativity) should perhaps be replaced, not by a noncommutative algebra (as in noncommutative geometry), but rather by a Jordan…
A generalization of classical gauge theory is presented, in the framework of a noncommutative-geometric formalism of quantum principal bundles over smooth manifolds. Quantum counterparts of classical gauge bundles, and classical gauge…
We study light propagation in the picture of semi-classical space-time that emerges in canonical quantum gravity in the loop representation. In such picture, where space-time exhibits a polymer-like structure at microscales, it is natural…
We feel that non-commutative geometry is to particle physics what Riemannian geometry is to gravity. We try to explain this feeling.
Observable properties of a classical physical system can be modelled deterministically as functions from the space of pure states to outcomes; dually, states can be modelled as functions from the algebra of observables to outcomes. The…
We review the present status of gauge theories built on various quantum space-times described by noncommutative space-times. The mathematical tools and notions underlying their construction are given. Different formulations of gauge theory…

We have previously presented a version of the Weak Equivalence Principle for a quantum particle as an exact analog of the classical case, based on the Heisenberg picture analysis of free particle motion. Here, we take that to a full…
Quantum simulation is making a significant impact on scientific research. The prevailing tendency of the field is to build quantum simulators that get closer to real-world systems of interest, in particular electronic materials. However,…
In this paper the model considered by Arkani-Hamed, Cohen and Georgi in the context of (de)constructing dimensions has been studied by making use of non-commutative geometry. The non-commutative geometry provides a natural framework to…
We discuss generalizations of the notion of i) the group of unitary elements of a (real or complex) finite dimensional C*-algebra, ii) gauge transformations and iii) (real) automorphisms, in the framework of compact quantum group theory and…
Classical differential geometry can be encoded in spectral data, such as Connes' spectral triples, involving supersymmetry algebras. In this paper, we formulate non-commutative geometry in terms of supersymmetric spectral data. This leads…
We present a short review describing the use of noncommutative space-time in quantum-deformed dynamical theories: classical and quantum mechanics as well as classical and quantum field theory. We expose the role of Hopf algebras and their…
We consider a model of Quantum Gravity phenomenology, based on the idea that space-time may have some unknown granular structure that respects the Lorentz symmetry. The proposal involves non-trivial couplings of curvature to matter fields…
This is a self-contained introduction to quantum Riemannian geometry based on quantum groups as frame groups, and its proposed role in quantum gravity. Much of the article is about the generalisation of classical Riemannian geometry that…
We further develop a noncommutative model unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity proposed in {\it Gen. Rel. Grav.} (2004) {\bf 36}, 111-126. Generalized symmetries of the model are defined by a groupoid $\Gamma $ given by the…
The "quantum-event / prime ideal in a category/ noncommutative-point" alternative to "classical-event / commutative prime ideal/ point" is suggested. Ideals in additive categories, prime spectra and representation of quivers are considered…
Experiments are beginning to probe the interaction of quantum particles with gravitational fields beyond the uniform-field regime. In non-relativistic quantum mechanics, the gravitational field in such experiments can be written as a…
Exactly soluble models can serve as excellent tools to explore conceptual issues in non-perturbative quantum gravity. In perturbative approaches, it is only the two radiative modes of the linearized gravitational field that are quantized.…
