Description:

Abstract: I will give an overview of recent activity based on the idea that we can test quantum properties of the gravitational field in experiments. I will show some explicit models of low-energy gravity that can be tested, and discuss some of the basic experimental challenges to getting these tests done. A particular new result will be a short discussion of the idea that we can test the notion that gravity is an "entropic force".

Speaker: Daniel Carney, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
