This article reviews the present status of the spin-foam approach to the quantization of
gravity. Special attention is payed to the pedagogical presentation of the recently-introduced …

I give a synthetic presentation of loop quantum gravity. I present the aims of the theory and
compare the results obtained with the initial hopes that motivated the early interest in this …

We study the effective cosmological dynamics, emerging as the hydrodynamics of simple
condensate states, of a group field theory (GFT) model for quantum gravity coupled to a …

The causal structure is a quintessential element of continuum spacetime physics and needs
to be properly encoded in a theory of Lorentzian quantum gravity. Established spin foam …

In quantum gravity, we envision renormalization as the key tool for bridging the gap between
microscopic models and observable scales. For spin foam quantum gravity, which is defined …

This paper studies the large-j asymptotics of the Lorentzian Engle–Pereira–Rovelli–Livine
(EPRL) spinfoam amplitude on a 4D simplicial complex with an arbitrary number of …

We construct a group field theory model for quantum gravity minimally coupled to relativistic
scalar fields, defining as well a corresponding discrete gravity path integral (and, implicitly, a …

A discrete-time quantum walk (QW) is essentially an operator driving the evolution of a
single particle on the lattice, through local unitaries. Some QWs admit a continuum limit …

In general relativity (GR), spacetime geometry is no longer just a background arena but a
physical and dynamical entity with its own degrees of freedom. We present an overview of …
