Title: Infrared scaling for a graviton condensate
Authors: Sougato Bose, Anupam Mazumdar, Marko Toro\v{s}
Abstract summary: We will show that an infrared length scale is determined by the number of gravitons $N_ggg1$ associated to a given mass in the non-relativistic limit. In the infrared, the length scale appears to be $L=sqrtN_gell_p$, where $L$ is the new infrared length scale, and $ell_p$ is the Planck length.

Abstract: The coupling between gravity and matter provides an intriguing length scale in the infrared for theories of gravity within Einstein-Hilbert action and beyond. In particular, we will show that such an infrared length scale is determined by the number of gravitons $N_{g}\gg1$ associated to a given mass in the non-relativistic limit. After tracing out the matter degrees of freedom, the graviton vacuum is found to be in a displaced vacuum with an occupation number of gravitons $N_{g}\gg1$. In the infrared, the length scale appears to be $L=\sqrt{N_{g}}\ell_{p}$, where $L$ is the new infrared length scale, and $\ell_{p}$ is the Planck length. In a specific example, we have found that the infrared length scale is greater than the Schwarzschild radius for a slowly moving in-falling thin shell of matter. We will argue that the appearance of such an infrared length scale in higher curvature theories of gravity, such as in quadratic and cubic curvature theories of gravity, is also expected. Furthermore, we will show that gravity is fundamentally different from the electromagnetic interaction where the number of photons, $N_{p}$, is the fine structure constant after tracing out an electron wave function.

Gravitational redshift via quantized linear gravity [44.99833362998488]
We employ linearized quantum gravity to show that gravitational redshift occurs as a purely quantum process. Redshift occurs as predicted by general relativity but arises in flat spacetime in the absence of curvature. Results can help improve our understanding of the quantum nature of gravity in the low energy and low curvature regime.

Tantum Gravity [0.0]
We argue there is an interesting triple-scaling limit of quantum gravity, namely when Planck's constant scales to infinity while Newton's constant and the speed of light tend to zero. We refer to this limiting theory as tantum gravity'' and describe in this Letter some of its main properties and prospects for physics.

Should we necessarily treat masses as localized when analysing tests of quantum gravity? [0.0]
Recently proposed table-top tests of quantum gravity'' involve creating, separating and recombining superpositions of masses at non-relativistic speeds. Analyses suggest that negligible gravitational radiation is generated if the interference experiments involve sufficiently small accelerations.

Bose-Einstein condensate as a quantum gravity probe; "Erste Abhandlung" [0.11704154007740832]
We consider a Bose-Einstein condensate interacting with a gravitational wave for the case when the gravitational fluctuations are quantized. We observe that the solution of the time-dependent part of the pseudo-Goldstone boson has infusions from the noise induced by gravitons. We observe the effect of decoherence due to interacting phonon modes in the quantum gravitational Fisher information.

Decoherence-Free Entropic Gravity: Model and Experimental Tests [0.0]
Some have ruled out Erik Verlinde's theory of entropic gravity on grounds that entropic forces are by nature noisy. We address this criticism by modeling linear gravity acting on small objects as an open quantum system. We show that the proposed master equation is fully compatible with the textitqtextscBounce experiment for ultra-cold neutrons.

Gravitational waves affect vacuum entanglement [68.8204255655161]
The entanglement harvesting protocol is an operational way to probe vacuum entanglement. Using this protocol, it is demonstrated that while the transition probability of an individual atom is unaffected by the presence of a gravitational wave, the entanglement harvested by two atoms depends sensitively on the frequency of the gravitational wave. This suggests that the entanglement signature left by a gravitational wave may be useful in characterizing its properties, and potentially useful in exploring the gravitational-wave memory effect and gravitational-wave induced decoherence.
