Does spacetime have indivisible units, or quanta, even though it does not seem to be divisible like matter? Researchers have proposed using a widely distributed quantum state to probe the essential features of quantum theory in the curved spacetime of Earth’s gravitational field.
Testing Quantum Theory in Curved Spacetime
A proposed experiment could shed light on the unknown interplay of quantum theory and general relativity.

Read about the first electronic-photonic quantum system-on-chip! bit.ly/40ZUlPE 💡⚛️
The scheme combines #quantum light sources and stabilizing electronics in a commercial CMOS foundry, paving the way for silicon quantum photonics to achieve the scale needed for future quantum information systems.
