abstract

Various models of quantum gravity imply the Planck-scale modifications of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle into a so-called generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). The GUP effects on high-energy physics, cosmology, and astrophysics have been extensively studied. Here, we focus on the weak-equivalence-principle (WEP) violation induced by the GUP. Results from the WEP test with the $^{85}$Rb-$^{87}$Rb dual-species atom interferometer are used to set upper bounds on parameters in two GUP proposals. A $10^{45}$-level bound on the Kempf-Mangano-Mann proposal, and a $10^{27}$-level bound on Maggiore's proposal, which are consistent with bounds from other experiments, are obtained. All these bounds have huge room for improvement in the future.

  1. Generalized Uncertainty Principle mimicking dynamical Dark Energy: matter perturbations and gravitational wave data analysis

    gr-qc 2025-02 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a GUP-modified cosmology, matter fluctuations grow more slowly and the primordial gravitational wave spectrum is enhanced at high frequencies, leading to a claimed bound β ≲ 10^39.
