• Abstract: More recently, we have proposed a set of noncommutative space that describes the quantum gravity at the Planck scale [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 53, 115303 (2020)]. The interesting significant result we found is that, the generalized uncertainty principle induces a maximal measurable length of quantum gravity. This measurement revealed strong quantum gravitational effects at this scale and predicted a detection of gravity particles with low energies. In the present paper, to make evidence this prediction, we study in this space, the dynamics of a particle with position-dependent mass (PDM) trapped in an infinite square well. We show that, by increasing the quantum gravitational effect, the PDM of the particle increases and induces deformations of the quantum energy levels. These deformations are more pronounced as one increases the quantum levels allowing, the particle to jump from one state to another with low energies and with high probability densities.

We consider a trade-off relation of entanglement in a tripartite system consisting of two massive particles and a gravitational field that may be entangled with each other. Our results may help understand the relationship between the quantization of the gravitational field and the meaning of the quantum superposition of the gravitational field.
