Experimental Search for Quantum Gravity
Experimental Search for Quantum Gravity by Sabine Hossenfelder, published by Springer International Publishing on August 31, 2018, offers a concise overview of recent advancements in quantum gravity phenomenology. This edition, comprising 120 pages, presents a series of short, nontechnical essays that explore various experimental possibilities and their current status in the quest for observational evidence of quantized space-time. The book highlights how recent technological advancements have transformed the research landscape, moving from theoretical constructs to a more dynamic phenomenology in quantum gravity.
Readers will find discussions on high precision measurements with macroscopic quantum oscillators and innovative analysis methods related to the cosmic microwave background. The book also addresses the intersection of astroparticle physics with quantum gravity, including insights into gravitational waves and their detection, as well as the relationships among general relativity, black holes, and Planck stars. Aimed at graduate students and researchers entering the field, this work illuminates the potential returns on investment in quantum-gravitation research, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the evolving landscape of physics and cosmology.
Official synopsis Publisher
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.
