Quantum decoherence plays a pivotal role in the dynamical description of the quantum-to-
classical transition and is the main impediment to the realization of devices for quantum …

A future quantum network will consist of quantum processors that are connected by quantum
channels, just like conventional computers are wired up to form the Internet. In contrast to …

Atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics has been at the forefront of the development of
quantum science while laying the foundation for modern technology. With the growing …

All existing quantum-gravity proposals are extremely hard to test in practice. Quantum effects
in the gravitational field are exceptionally small, unlike those in the electromagnetic field …

In physics, every observation is made with respect to a frame of reference. Although
reference frames are usually not considered as degrees of freedom, in all practical situations …

We discuss effects of loss of coherence in low energy quantum systems caused by or related
to gravitation, referred to as gravitational decoherence. These effects, resulting from random …

We present a new avenue to black hole evaporation using a heat-kernel approach
analogous as for the Schwinger effect. Applying this method to an uncharged massless …

Gravitational waves (GWs) were observed for the first time in 2015, one century after
Einstein predicted their existence. There is now growing interest to extend the detection …

Time has a fundamentally different character in quantum mechanics and in general relativity.
In quantum theory events unfold in a fixed order while in general relativity temporal order is …

The traditional view from particle physics is that quantum-gravity effects should become
detectable only at extremely high energies and small length scales. Owing to the significant …
