• Abstract: We consider the possibility that the goal of quantizing General Relativity should be abandoned in favor of Semiclassical Gravity. A formalism is provided for doing so. The quantum measurement problem is investigated in this context. Particular attention is paid to the EPR paradox and the Page-Geilker experiment.

  Quantum measurement is a fundamental concept in the field of quantum mechanics. Despite its significance, four fundamental issues continue to pose significant challenges to the broader application of quantum measurement. We employ a new space-time approach to relativistic quantum mechanics to address these issues systematically.

• The equivalence principle and inertial-gravitational decoherence [0.0]
  We look at proposals for "witnessing" quantum gravity via entanglement from the point of view of Bronstein's original objection to a quantization of gravity. We argue that this "failure" is actually an inherent feature of any quantum description. In the second part, we speculate on how an exact realization of the equivalence principle might be implemented in an effective quantum field theory.

• Is gravitational entanglement evidence for the quantization of spacetime? [0.0]
  Experiments witnessing the entanglement between two particles interacting only via the gravitational field have been proposed as a test whether gravity must be quantized. We present a parametrized model for the gravitational interaction of quantum matter on a classical spacetime, inspired by the de Broglie-Bohm formulation of quantum mechanics.

We show that the emission rate of an atom prepared in a coherent superposition of separated wave packets in a gravitational field is different from the emission rate of an atom in a classical mixture of these packets.
