Quantum technologies present new opportunities for fundamental tests of nature. One potential application is to probe the interplay between quantum physics and general relativity - a field of physics with no empirical evidence yet. Here we…
Locality is a central notion in modern physics, but different disciplines understand it in different ways. Quantum field theory focuses on relativistic locality, based on spacetime regions, while quantum information theory focuses circuit…
Quantization of the gravity remains one of the most important, yet extremely illusive, challenges at the heart of modern physics. Any attempt to resolve this long-standing problem seems to be doomed, as the route to any direct empirical…
It is shown that a linearized classical gravity wave $\hat{a}$ {\em la} Einstein can get entangled with an array of test masses in a plane perpendicular to its direction of propagation. A Bell-CHSH inequality based on the requirement of…
We develop a quantum field-theoretic model of gravitationally induced entanglement (GIE) between two massive objects in spatial superposition. The masses are described as excitations of a scalar field in an external harmonic potential,…
Despite the fact that we have some proposals for the quantum theory of gravity like string theory or loop quantum gravity, we do not have any experimental evidence supporting any of these theories. Actually, we do not have experimental…
The relationship between classical and quantum mechanics is usually understood via the limit $\hbar \rightarrow 0$. This is the underlying idea behind the quantization of classical objects. The apparent incompatibility of general relativity…
A new direction to understand gravity has recently been explored by considering classical gravity to be a derived interaction from an underlying theory. This underlying theory would involve new degrees of freedom at a deeper level and it…

Quantum nonlocality is arguably among the most counter-intuitive phenomena predicted by quantum theory. In recent years, the development of an abstract theory of nonlocality has brought a much deeper understanding of the subject. In…
We study how quantum systems can harvest entanglement from the quantum degrees of freedom of the gravitational field. Concretely, we describe in detail the interaction of non-relativistic quantum systems with linearized quantum gravity, and…
Field mediated entanglement experiments probe the quantum superposition of macroscopically distinct field configurations. We show that this phenomenon can be described by using a transparent quantum field theoretical formulation of…
The frame of classical probability theory can be generalized by enlarging the usual family of random variables in order to encompass nondeterministic ones: this leads to a frame in which two kinds of correlations emerge: the classical…
In order to show that the graviton is a quantum entity an experiment is proposed that can show that quantum entanglement is produced by means of an exchange of gravitons. For this to be possible, one has to be able to witness the…
Recently, it was shown that if two distant test masses, each in a spatially superposed quantum state, become entangled due to their mutual gravitational interaction, then this entanglement could serve as evidence of the quantum nature of…
While general relativity possesses local Lorentz invariance, both canonical quantum gravity and string theory suggest that Lorentz invariance may be broken at high energies. Broken Lorentz invariance has also been postulated as an…
We study entanglement entropy in gravity theory with quantum effects. A simplest model is a two dimensional Einstein-Hilbert action . We use an $n$-sheet manifold to obtain an area term of entanglement entropy by summing over all background…
Models of quantum-classical interactions fall into two classes: those which allow the generation of quantum entanglement via a classical mediator (such as gravity), and those which do not. Marconato and Marletto have recently sought to…
