Abstract:
Recent advances in both high-energy astrophysics and high-precision table-top experiments are expanding our ability to test nature in regimes where gravity meets quantum physics. Searches for signatures of quantum-gravity effects in astrophysical signals constitute nowadays an established field of basic research, bringing together theoretical and experimental physicists. At the same time, frontier experiments in quantum physics are making rapid progress in exploring the role of gravity in quantum systems and testing the possibility that gravity itself is quantized. In this talk, I will review the current status of these complementary approaches and discuss what we can learn by connecting them.
