This project aims to investigate the effects of a fundamental minimum length on the nature of gravity and on how accurately we can make measurements in our world. The key challenge is to combine our best theories of fundamental physics to model what happens at ultra-short distances. This project will generate new knowledge at this interface by using a novel approach inspired by information theory. The expected outcomes are new connections between fundamental limitations on measurements, the nature of gravitation, and ultra-small-scale quantum physics. The benefit of this work is breaking the logjam in answering the most important open question in all of physics: how to unite quantum theory and gravitation.

该项目旨在研究基本最小长度对重力性质的影响，以及我们在世界上进行测量的准确性。关键的挑战是将我们最好的基础物理理论结合起来，为超短距离发生的事情建模。该项目将通过使用受信息论启发的新方法在此界面上生成新知识。预期的结果是测量的基本限制，引力的性质和超小尺度量子物理学之间的新联系。这项工作的好处是打破了回答所有物理学中最重要的开放问题的僵局：如何统一量子理论和引力。
