In this episode Curt talks with Ivette Fuentes about the challenges of proving that gravity is not a quantum phenomenon. They explore how quantum information, quantum gravity research, and recent collaborations with Sir Roger Penrose shed light on the intersection of quantum mechanics and general relativity.- 00:00 - Intro- 01:20 - Unification in Physics- 04:15 - Ivette’s Background- 21:00 - Fundamental Questions Unanswered- 23:54 - Quantum Theory and Relativity- 30:17 - Superpositions- 33:49 - Using Technology to Develop New Theories- 39:08 - Exploring Large and Small Scales- 48:32 - Long Range Experiments / Quantum Teleportation- 57:36 - Quantum Clocks- 01:06:46 - Relativistic Quantum Clock Model- 01:13:57 - Does Gravity Collapse the Superposition?- 01:17:18 - Where the Field is Now- 01:22:04 - Bose-Einstein Condenstate- 01:26:11 - New Device: Atom Interferometer- 01:37:38 - Testing Ivette’s Predictions- 01:38:53 - Outro / Support TOESPONSORS:- The Economist: Get a 20% discount on annual digital subscriptions at https://www.economist.com/TOE- Patreon: https://patreon.com/curtjaimungal (early access to ad-free audio episodes!)- Crypto: https://tinyurl.com/cryptoTOE- PayPal: https://tinyurl.com/paypalTOE- TOE Merch: https://tinyurl.com/TOEmerchRESOURCES:- YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/cUj2TcZSlZc- YouTube Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdWIQh9DGG6uhJk8eyIFl1w/join- Curt on Julian Dorey’s podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1mKNGo9JLQ- Ivette’s first paper on Seyfert galaxies: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1086/311925/pdf- Ivette’s paper (Alice falls into a black hole): https://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/0410172- Part 1 of Ivette’s papers on confined quantum scalar fields: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1811.10507- Multiverse Ivette Fuentes: Roger Penrose on LIGO controversy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoR_WbACfPo- Women in Maths - Ivette Fuentes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5ASV7NWn38- Spacetime effects on satellite-based quantum communications: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1309.3088- Testing the effects of gravity and motion on quantum entanglement in space-based experiments: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1306.1933- Resolving the gravitational redshift within a millimeter atomic sample: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2109.12238- Motion and gravity effects in the precision of quantum clocks: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1409.4235- Gravitational time dilation in extended quantum systems: the case of light clocks in Schwarzschild spacetime: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.07869- Exploring the unification of quantum theory and general relativity with a Bose-Einstein condensate: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1812.04630- A trapped atom interferometer with ultracold Sr atoms: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1609.06092- Quantum Frequency Interferometry: with applications ranging from gravitational wave detection to dark matter searches: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.02618- NEW Get my 'Top 10 TOEs' PDF + Weekly Personal Updates: https://www.curtjaimungal.org- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theoriesofeverythingpod- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theoriesofeverything_- Twitter: https://twitter.com/TOEwithCurt- Discord Invite: https://discord.com/invite/kBcnfNVwqs- iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/better-left-unsaid-with-curt-jaimungal/id1521758802- Pandora: https://pdora.co/33b9lfP- Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gL14b92xAErofYQA7bU4e- Subreddit r/TheoriesOfEverything: https://reddit.com/r/theoriesofeverything
