GRAVITES Gravitational interferometry with entangled states in optical fibers

Coordinator: UNIVERSITAT WIEN (AT)

The four known interactions that occur in nature can be described either by Einstein's general relativity or by quantum field theory. Over the last decades physicists have tried to put these two pillars of modern physics on a common foundation. In doing so, they have been limited by a lack of experiments at the interface of these two frameworks. Both theories have been independently verified with astonishing precision, but all verifications to date have come without drawing on concepts from the other theory.The goal of GRAVITES is to perform experiments at the interface of quantum physics and…

About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)

Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.

EU contribution: €8.9M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2023-04-01 to 2029-03-31.
