Gravitationally induced decoherence vs space-time diffusion: testing the quantum nature of gravity
We consider two interacting systems when one is treated classically while the other system
remains quantum. Consistent dynamics of this coupling has been shown to exist, and …

A postquantum theory of classical gravity?
J Oppenheim - Physical Review X, 2023 - APS
The effort to discover a quantum theory of gravity is motivated by the need to reconcile the
incompatibility between quantum theory and general relativity. Here, we present an …

The classical-quantum limit
I Layton, J Oppenheim - PRX Quantum, 2024 - APS
The standard notion of a classical limit, represented schematically by ℏ→ 0, provides a
method for approximating a quantum system by a classical one. In this work, we explain why …
