| Quantum Gravity is the problem of combining Einstein's general relativity with quantum mechanics. This is one of the major open problems in fundamental physics. The main activity of the Quantum Gravity group of the CPT is the development of the loop approach to quantum gravity, both in its canonical form and in the spinfoam formalism. A review article on loop quantum gravity has appeared on the electronic journal Living Reviews in Relativity. You can find the article on here. A review of the spinfoam formalism is here. Other activities of the group include quantum cosmology and foundations of quantum mechanics. |
