Beskrivning
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.

Dr. Sabine Hossenfelder is a research fellow at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies. Her research focuses on topics ranging from the physics of black holes to cosmology to the foundations of quantum mechanics. She devoted more than ten years to investigate the question where to best search for experimental evidence of quantum gravity. She worked at Nordita (Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics), Stockholm, Sweden; the Perimeter Institute, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada; the University of California, Santa Barbara, USA and at the University of Arizona, USA.Contributing Authors:​Matthias Lorenz, Commissariat à l'énergie atomique CEA Saclay, FranceDavid Brizuela, Manuel Kraemer, University of the Basque Country, SpainTim Lappe, University of Bonn, GermanyFabian Mueller, Institute of Mathematics, University Frankfurt, GermanyFabienne Schneiter,University Tübingen, GermanyGiacomo D'Amico, Università di Roma La Sapienza, ItalyJosé Manuel Carmona, Universidad de Zaragoza, SpainAlexander Maximilian Eller, Darmstadt University of Technology, GSI Helmholtz Center, GermanyHelena Schmidt, German National Metrologic Institute (PTB), Berlin, Germany Giovanni Amelino-Camelia, Dipt Fisica, Sapienza University of Rome, ItalySabina Scully, Australian National University, AustraliaAntonia Micol Frassino, Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS) andUniversity Frankfurt, GermanyMatteo Trudu, University of Cagliari, ItalyMartin Seltmann, Technical University (TU) Munich, GermanyManon Bischoff, University Mainz, GermanyMichael Florian Wondrak, FIAS, Frankfurt, Germany
