The Quantum Gravity Unit is a theoretical group driven by an interest in the laws of nature. The group’s work is at the interface of three pillars of modern fundamental physics: gravitation, particle physics, and cosmology. Using new models and theoretical tools, the group aims to reconcile the conflicting lessons that nature has taught us about the structure of reality. Current work involves higher-spin theory, de Sitter physics, holography, and black hole thermodynamics.
