Quantum gravity is the problem of joining quantum theory to general relativity to make a theory of space and time. I study models of quantum spacetime, which I treat as analogous to problems in condensed matter physics in that the challenge is to understand how macroscopic behavior is emergent from a many body system. In my work I have shown these can be addressed by using methods initially developed to model quantum computers. I propose to use these new methods to investigate the theoretical and observational consequences of specific models of quantum spacetime.

量子引力是将量子理论与广义相对论结合起来，形成时空理论的问题。我研究量子时空模型，我将其视为类似于凝聚态物理学中的问题，因为挑战在于理解宏观行为是如何从多体系统中涌现出来的。在我的工作中，我已经证明，这些问题可以通过使用最初为建立量子计算机模型而开发的方法来解决。我建议使用这些新方法来研究特定量子时空模型的理论和观测结果。
