The study of cosmic phase transitions are of central interest in modern cosmology. In the
standard model of cosmology the Universe begins in a very hot state, right after at the end of …

Understanding gravity in the framework of quantum mechanics is one of the great
challenges in modern physics. However, the lack of empirical evidence has lead to a debate …

This paper points out the importance of the quantum nature of the gravitational interaction
with matter in a linearized theory of quantum gravity induced entanglement of masses. We …

This paper points out the importance of the assumption of locality of physical interactions,
and the concomitant necessity of propagation of an entity (in this case, off-shell quanta …

The production of a stochastic background of gravitational waves is a fundamental
prediction of any cosmological inflationary model. The features of such a signal encode …

I argue that cosmological data from the epoch of primordial inflation is catalyzing the
maturation of quantum gravity from speculation into a hard science. I explain why quantum …

We revisit a question asked by Dyson:“Is a graviton detectable?” We demonstrate that in
both Dyson's original sense and in a more modern measurement-theoretic sense, it is …

Reheating is a transition era after the end of inflation, during which the inflaton is converted
into the particles that populate the Universe at later times. No direct cosmological …

The deflection of light in the gravitational field of the Sun is one of the most fundamental
consequences for general relativity as well as one of its classical tests first performed by …

A recently proposed experimental protocol for quantum gravity induced entanglement of
masses (QGEM) requires in principle realizable, but still very ambitious, set of parameters in …
