Is Quantum Gravity Necessary?
In view of the enormous difficulties we seem to face in quantizing general relativity, we should perhaps consider the possibility that gravity is a fundamentally classical interaction. Theoretical arguments against such mixed classical-quantum models are strong, but not conclusive, and the question is ultimately one for experiment. I review some work in progress on the possibility of experiment...
متن کاملQuantum Gravity Necessary ? ∗
Quantum gravity presents something of a unique puzzle for the philosophy of science. For in a very real sense, there is no such thing as quantum gravity. Despite near unanimous agreement among physicists that a quantum theory of gravitation is needed to reconcile the contradictions between general relativity and quantum mechanics, there are no pressing empirical issues that require this resolut...
متن کاملIs Minisuperspace Quantum Gravity Reliable?
We study minisuperspace quantum cosmology for a 2+1 dimensional Ads universe and find wave function, then we extend the model to a canonically quantized field theory for quantum gravity, i.e., a midisuperspace and solve quantum constraint the wave functional of the field theory in the saddle point approximation, we find that these two approach yield in different results.
متن کاملSupplementarity is Necessary for Quantum Diagram Reasoning
The ZX-calculus is a powerful diagrammatic language for quantum mechanics and quantum information processing. We prove that its π4 -fragment is not complete, in other words the ZXcalculus is not complete for the so called "Clifford+T quantum mechanics". The completeness of this fragment was one of the main open problems in categorical quantum mechanics, a programme initiated by Abramsky and Coe...
متن کاملWhat Is Quantum Theory of Gravity?
We present a line by line derivation of canonical quantum mechanics stemming from the compatibility of the statistical geometry of distinguishable observations with the canonical Poisson structure of Hamiltonian dynamics. This viewpoint can be naturally extended to provide a conceptually novel, non-perturbative formulation of quantum gravity. Possible observational implications of this new appr...
