Unveiling the Secrets of Quantum Gravity: The FIAS Interdisciplinary Science Series

The pursuit of understanding gravity, one of the fundamental forces shaping our universe, has puzzled scientists for centuries. While Einstein's theory of general relativity successfully describes gravity as the curvature of spacetime, it fails to unify with the other fundamental forces described by quantum mechanics. This discrepancy urges scientists to venture into the realm of quantum gravity.

This book summarizes recent developments in the research area of quantum gravity phenomenology. A series of short and nontechnical essays lays out the prospects of various experimental possibilities and their current status. Finding observational evidence for the quantization of space-time was long thought impossible. In the last decade however, new experimental design and technological advances have changed the research landscape and opened new perspectives on quantum gravity. Formerly dominated by purely theoretical constructions, quantum gravity now has a lively phenomenology to offer. From high precision measurements using macroscopic quantum oscillators to new analysis methods of the cosmic microwave background, no stone is being left unturned in the experimental search for quantum gravity.This book sheds new light on the connection of astroparticle physics with the quantum gravity problem. Gravitational waves and their detection are covered. It illustrates findings from the interconnection between general relativity, black holes and Planck stars. Finally, the return on investment in quantum-gravitation research is illuminated. The book is intended for graduate students and researchers entering the field.
