Massive quantum systems as interfaces of quantum mechanics and gravity
The traditional view from particle physics is that quantum gravity effects should only become
detectable at extremely high energies and small length scales. Due to the significant …

Killing horizons decohere quantum superpositions
We recently showed that if a massive (or charged) body is put in a quantum spatial
superposition, the mere presence of a black hole in its vicinity will eventually decohere the …

Any consistent coupling between classical gravity and quantum matter is fundamentally irreversible
When gravity is sourced by a quantum system, there is tension between its role as the
mediator of a fundamental interaction, which is expected to acquire nonclassical features …
