Quantum Gravity<br />

Quantum gravity is concerned with unifying Einstein’s general theory of relativity with quantum<br />

theory into a single theoretical framework. At <strong>Perimeter</strong> <strong>Institute</strong>, researchers are actively pursuing<br />

a number of approaches to this problem including loop quantum gravity, spin foam models, and<br />

causal set theory.<br />
