This is the manual of the first version of QEDtool, an object-oriented Python package that performs numerical quantum electrodynamics calculations, with focus on full state reconstruction in the internal degrees of freedom, correlations and…
We present a short, general and accessible introduction to quantizing gravity in the Heisenberg picture. We then apply this formalism to the scenario where two spatially superposed masses interact through the gravitational field. We discuss…
We describe the basic assumptions and key results of loop quantum gravity, which is a background independent approach to quantum gravity. The emphasis is on the basic physical principles and how one deduces predictions from them, at a level…
As an alternative but unified and more fundamental description for quantum physics, Feynman path integrals generalize the classical action principle to a probabilistic perspective, under which the physical observables' estimation translates…
We compute some components of the graviton propagator in loop quantum gravity, using the spinfoam formalism, up to some second order terms in the expansion parameter.
We give an overview of ongoing searches for effects motivated by the study of the quantum-gravity problem. We describe in greater detail approaches which have not been covered in recent ``Quantum Gravity Phenomenology'' reviews. In…
Advancement in recent years in the field of experimental gravitation has allowed to test the equivalence principle in regimes that were previously unexplored, allowing for unprecedented verifications of general relativity and also enabling…
We investigate Feynman graphs and their Feynman rules from the viewpoint of graph complexes. We focus on graph homology and on the appearance of cubical complexes when either reducing internal edges or when removing them by putting them on…
Unlike the fundamental forces of the Standard Model the quantum effects of gravity are still experimentally inaccessible. Rather surprisingly quantum aspects of gravity, such as massive gravitons, can emerge in experiments with fractional…
We formulate quantum field theory in triangulated spacetime using compositional quantum field theory and tensor network methods. We show that gravitational interactions emerge as a low-energy effective phenomenon in this framework. For…
The use of geometric and symmetry techniques in quantum and classical information processing has a long tradition across the physical sciences as a means of theoretical discovery and applied problem solving. In the modern era, the emergent…
The existing approaches to quantization of gravity aim at giving quantum description of 3-geometry following to the ideas of the Wheeler -- DeWitt geometrodynamics. In this description the role of gauge gravitational degrees of freedom is…
In perturbative QED, the approximation is improved by summing more Feynman graphs; in non-perturbative QCD, by refining the lattice. Here we observe that in quantum gravity the two procedures may well be the same. We outline the…
We study the introduction of holonomy corrections in $f(R)$ gravity. We will show that there are infinitely many ways, as many as canonical transformations, to introduce this kind of corrections, depending on the canonical variables (two…
An earlier proposed theory with linear-gonihedhic action for quantum gravity is reviewed. One can consider this theory as a "square root" of classical gravity with a new fundamental constant of dimension one. We demonstrate also, that the…
In this review, the fundamental structure of loop quantum gravity is presented pedagogically. Our main aim is to help non-experts to understand the motivations, basic structures, as well as general results. It may also be beneficial to…
We formulate a dynamically triangulated model of three-dimensional Lorentzian quantum gravity whose spatial sections are flat two-tori. It is shown that the combinatorics involved in evaluating the one-step propagator (the transfer matrix)…
Extending black-hole entropy to ordinary objects, we propose kinetic entropy tensor, based on which a quantum gravity tensor equation is established. Our investigation results indicate that if N=1, the quantum gravity tensor equation…
We consider a modified gravity model which we call "dynamical Henneaux-Teitelboim gravity" because of its close relationship with the Henneaux-Teitelboim formulation of unimodular gravity. The latter is a fully diffeomorphism-invariant…
A correlational dialect is introduced within the quantum theory language to give a unified treatment of finite-dimensional informational/operational quantum theories, infinite-dimensional relativistic quantum theories, and quantum gravity.…
