Project description
Probing the quantum nature of gravity
This research aims at probing the quantum properties of gravity in order to understand the fundamental properties of a force that governs not only our everyday live, but the universe as a whole. In this research program, a mathematical probe of gravity will be developed by zooming in on spacetime with the mathematical analogue of a microscope and take steps to bridge the gap to observations in particle physics and black holes.
The grant will fund two PhD students and two postdocs.
