Description
Constructing a complete and self-consistent quantum gravity theory stands as one of the most significant challenges in theoretical physics. The main difficulties arise from two aspects: the theoretical difficulty stemming from the dual nature of general relativity, and the experimental observational difficulty due to the prohibitively high energy scale of quantum gravity. To this day, we still lack any conclusive experimental evidence for quantum gravitational effects. In fact, the fundamental question of whether gravity is inherently quantum remains controversial precisely because of this absence of definitive experimental proof.
In recent years, experimental proposals leveraging quantum gravity induced entanglement of masses to probe low-energy quantum gravitational effects show promise in providing a definitive resolution to this question. This report offers a brief review of relevant advances and introduces a novel scheme in an infinite square well.
