• Abstract: This study presents a novel framework to explore the fundamental relationship between gravity and quantum mechanics, with particular emphasis on the role of primordial black holes (PBHs) in cosmology. Through the concept of self-gravitating condensed light, specifically in the form of the experimentally discovered photon Bose-Einstein condensate, this work examines the quantum attributes of PBHs and their implications for early universe dynamics, baryogenesis, and the very early formation of galaxies and large-scale structures, established by JWST data. The model also investigates quantized characteristics of PBHs, such as mass, entropy, and temperature, suggesting that quantum processes are fundamental to black hole mechanics. By addressing issues like the cosmological constant problem and the information loss paradox, dark matter, and dark energy, this work provides insights into Planck-scale physics and proposes that PBHs may serve as a bridge between quantum theory and general relativity. This study ultimately posits that understanding PBH physics is essential to resolving major cosmological and astrophysical paradoxes for the ultimate unification of quantum mechanics with gravity.

  In quantum gravity theory, a state-dependent gravitational potential introduces nonlinearity into the state evolution. The formalism for understanding the continuous quantum measurement process on the quantum state has been previously discussed using the Schr"odinger picture. In this work, an equivalent formalism using the Heisenberg picture is developed and applied to the analysis of two optomechanical experiment protocols.

The observation of non-trivial learning properties demonstrated in these benchmarks will motivate further exploration of the quantum-data learning architecture in high-energy physics.

• Relativistic Particle Motion and Quantum Optics in a Weak Gravitational Field [0.0]
  Long-baseline quantum experiments in space make it necessary to better understand the time evolution of relativistic quantum particles in a weakly varying gravitational field. We explain why conventional treatments by traditional quantum optics and atomic physics may become inadequate when faced with issues related to locality, simultaneity, signaling, causality, etc. Adding the effects of gravitation, we are led to Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime (QFTCST) This well-established theory should serve as the canonical reference theory to a large class of proposed space experiments testing the foundations of gravitation and quantum theory.
