Recent advances in both high-energy astrophysics and high-precision table-top experiments are pushing our capability to test nature in regimes where gravity meets quantum physics. Astrophysical observations are now potentially sensitive to tiny residual effects of Planck-scale physics, while table-top experiments are reaching the precision needed to test the interplay between gravity and quantum systems at ultra-low energies. Investigations of these regimes, in particular once they are combined, will provide important clues towards the understanding of the full-fledged theory of quantum gravity.
BridgeQG (Bridging high and low energies in search of quantum gravity, https://web.infn.it/BridgeQG/) is bringing together scientists with a variety of complementary expertise: theorists working on quantum gravity, or the interplay between gravity and quantum physics with quantum information and quantum optics tools, and experimentalists involved in astrophysical searches for quantum gravity, or investigating the effects of gravitational interactions on quantum systems. The resulting interdisciplinary collaboration develops a common language and a shared framework which will boost investigations at the interface between high-energy quantum gravity and quantum aspects of gravity in the weak-field regime.
Fundamental to this goal is training a generation of young scientists in the interdisciplinary expertise on both theoretical and experimental investigation of high and low-energy gravity effects. The Training Schools offer lectures from experts on various aspects of the scientific gear the students will acquire. The schools are aimed at Master and PhD students, as well as early-career postdocs.
This publication is based upon work from COST Action CA23130 "Bridging high and low energies in search of quantum gravity", supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology). COST (https://www.cost.eu/) is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. COST Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.
