  2. Quantum spacetime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_spacetime

    familiar from quantum mechanics but interpreted in this context as coordinates of a quantum space or spacetime. These relations were proposed by Roger Penrose in his earliest spin network theory of space. It is a toy model of quantum gravity in 3 spacetime dimensions (not the physical 4) with a Euclidean (not the physical Minkowskian) signature.

  3. List of spacetimes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spacetimes

    This is a list of well-known spacetimes in general relativity. [1] Where the metric tensor is given, a particular choice of coordinates is used, but there are often other useful choices of coordinate available.

  4. Quantum foam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_foam

    A graphic representation of Wheeler's calculations of what quantum reality may look like at the Planck length. Quantum foam (or spacetime foam, or spacetime bubble) is a theoretical quantum fluctuation of spacetime on very small scales due to quantum mechanics. The theory predicts that at this small scale, particles of matter and antimatter are ...

  5. Quantum field theory in curved spacetime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_field_theory_in...

    In theoretical physics, quantum field theory in curved spacetime (QFTCS) [1] is an extension of quantum field theory from Minkowski spacetime to a general curved spacetime. This theory uses a semi-classical approach; it treats spacetime as a fixed, classical background, while giving a quantum-mechanical description of the matter and energy ...

  6. Spacetime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime

    In physics, spacetime, also called the space-time continuum, is a mathematical model that fuses the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional continuum. Spacetime diagrams are useful in visualizing and understanding relativistic effects, such as how different observers perceive where and when events ...

  7. Loop quantum gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_quantum_gravity

    No spacetime is assumed a priori, but rather it is built up by the states of theory themselves – however scattering amplitudes are derived from -point functions (Correlation function) and these, formulated in conventional quantum field theory, are functions of points of a background spacetime. The relation between the background-independent ...

  8. Complex spacetime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_spacetime

    Complex spacetime is a mathematical framework that combines the concepts of complex numbers and spacetime in physics. In this framework, the usual real-valued ...

  9. Quantum Experiments at Space Scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Experiments_at...

    'Quantum Science Experiment Satellite'), is a Chinese research project in the field of quantum physics. QUESS was launched on 15 August 2016. The project consists of the satellite Micius , or Mozi ( Chinese : 墨子 ), after the ancient Chinese philosopher, operated by the Chinese Academy of Sciences , as well as ground stations in China.
