"We currently do not have a theory for quantum gravity and, more in general, a quantum theory of curved spacetime. Recent works have highlighted the necessity to perform a first step to experimentally establish if gravity or spacetime are actually quantum in their nature as this too is currently unknown. The project will focus on establishing experimental techniques to determine of curved space in the form of rotational motion can create entanglement between otherwise, independent photons. This would represent the first experimental demonstration of genuine entanglement generation from non-inertial motion, i.e. from a curved space background. The project will be predominantly experimental albeit in collaboration with theorists working in the same team. The project will first focus on developing the required photonic technologies to measure entanglement and will then proceed to implement these on a rotating platform where we will perform Bell test measurements to assess the creation of entanglement between photon pairs."

“我们目前没有量子引力理论，更一般地说，没有弯曲时空的量子理论。最近的工作强调了执行第一步的必要性，以实验方式确定引力或时空是否实际上是量子性质的，因为这也是目前未知的。该项目将专注于建立实验技术，以确定以旋转运动形式存在的弯曲空间可以在独立的光子之间产生纠缠。这将代表第一次实验证明真正的纠缠产生非惯性运动，即从弯曲的空间背景。该项目将主要是实验性的，尽管与同一团队中的理论家合作。该项目将首先专注于开发测量纠缠所需的光子技术，然后将在旋转平台上实施这些技术，我们将在旋转平台上进行贝尔测试测量，以评估光子对之间纠缠的产生。"
