Quantum Gravity

Quantum gravity is concerned with unifying Einstein's general theory of relativity with quantum theory into a single theoretical framework. At Perimeter Institute, researchers are actively pursuing a number of approaches to this problem including loop quantum gravity, spin foam models and causal set theory.

In addition to the researchers listed below, PI has six Distinguished Research Chairs who work in quantum gravity: Chris Isham, Renate Loll, Malcolm Perry, Gerard 't Hooft, William Unruh, and Xiao-Gang Wen.
