Classical theories of gravity produce entanglement
Joseph Aziz, Richard Howl
The unification of gravity and quantum mechanics remains one of the most profound open questions in science. With recent advances in quantum technology, an experimental idea first…
Enhanced Atom Capture via Multi-Frequency Magneto-Optical Trapping
Benjamin Hopton, Alexander Abbey, David Johnson +6
Magneto-optical traps are central to atomic and molecular quantum technologies and precision tests of fundamental physics, where both sensitivity and bandwidth scale strongly with…
Circuit locality from relativistic locality in scalar field mediated entanglement
Andrea Di Biagio, Richard Howl, Äaslav Brukner +2
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…
A Spin-Based Pathway to Testing the Quantum Nature of Gravity
Sougato Bose, Anupam Mazumdar, Roger Penrose +52
A key open problem in physics is the correct way to combine gravity (described by general relativity) with everything else (described by quantum mechanics). This problem suggests t…
Evidencing Quantum Gravity with Thermodynamical Observables
Thomas Strasser, Marios Christodoulou, Richard Howl +1
Proposed experiments for obtaining empirical evidence for a quantum description of gravity in a table-top setting focus on detecting quantum information signatures, such as entangl…
