Abstract

Motivated by Feynman's early proposal, several schemes have been proposed recently to explore the quantum nature of gravity using table-top experiments. The key idea behind them is to study whether gravity can lead to non-classical quantum correlations between two objects. These experiments, if successful, can test different models of quantum gravity in the Newtonian limit. In this talk, I will discuss one such scheme based upon optomechanics that couples light to mechanical oscillators mediated by quantum radiation pressure. The non-classicality of gravity is witnessed by the quantum squeezing of light.
