What if gravity — and space-time — are fundamentally classical? quantamagazine.org/the-physicist-…

For over a century, physicists have tried to reconcile gravity with quantum theory by trying to quantise gravity. But what if that's the wrong approach? Prof Jonathan Oppenheim Jonathan Oppenheim UCL Mathematical & Physical Sciences explains his alternative programme to Quanta Magazine quantamagazine.org/the-physicist-…

Supersymmetry may have not been discovered at CERN, but Tamara Kohler, a uclquantum alumna, used supersymmetric quantum mechanics to prove that an interesting problem used in data analysis called clique homology, is difficult to solve on a quantum computer. #IfQ2023

Jonathan Oppenheim (Jonathan Oppenheim) is challenging one of the core assumptions of modern physics. His radical idea? Spacetime might not be quantum at all. Could gravity stand apart from the quantum realm? He’s working with experimental colleagues to find out.
