• Abstract: In loop quantum gravity (LQG), quantum states of the gravitational field are represented by labelled graphs called spinnetworks. Their dynamics can be described by a Hamiltonian constraint, which modifies the spinnetwork graphs. Fixed graph approximations of the dynamics have been extensively studied, but its full graph-changing action so far remains elusive. The latter, alongside the solutions of its constraint, are arguably the missing features to access physically correct quantum-relativistic phenomenology from canonical LQG. Here, we introduce the first numerical tool that implements graph-changing dynamics via the Hamiltonian constraint. We find new solutions to this constraint and show that some quantum-geometrical observables behave differently than in the graph-preserving truncation. This work aims at fostering a new era of numerical simulations in canonical LQG that, crucially, embrace the graph-changing aspects of its dynamics, laying aside debated approximations.

• Graph theory and tunable slow dynamics in quantum East Hamiltonians [0.0]
  We show how graph theory concepts can provide an insight into the origin of slow dynamics in systems with kinetic constraints. Slow dynamics is related to the presence of strong hierarchies between nodes on the Fock-space graph. We numerically demonstrate how these detunings affect the degree of non-ergodicity on finite systems.
