本卷从年轻的领先研究人员的角度介绍了最先进的环量子引力的快照。它将读者从基础知识带到最新进展，从而弥合了一个重要的差距。其目的有两方面——为学生和博士后提供对整个领域的当代介绍，并为更资深的研究人员提供对当前状况的概述。这些贡献包括在现有书籍中没有讨论的最新发展，特别是在哈密顿和历史求和方法中量子动力学的最新进展；以及早期宇宙的宇宙学和黑洞的量子方面的应用。
This volume presents a snapshot of the state-of-the-art in loop quantum gravity from the perspective of younger leading researchers. It takes the reader from the basics to recent advances, thereby bridging an important gap. The aim is two-fold — to provide a contemporary introduction to the entire field for students and post-docs, and to present an overview of the current status for more senior researchers. The contributions include the latest developments that are not discussed in existing books, particularly recent advances in quantum dynamics both in the Hamiltonian and sum over histories approaches; and applications to cosmology of the early universe and to the quantum aspects of black holes.
