abstract
In this paper, we consider the gravitational tests for the extended uncertainty principle (EUP) metric, which is a large-scale quantum correction to Schwarzschild metric. We calculate gravitational redshift, geodetic precession, Shapiro time delay, precession of Mercury and S2 star's orbits. Using the results of experiments and observations, we obtain the lower bounds for the EUP fundamental length scale $L_{*}$. We obtain the smallest bound $L_{*} \sim9\times 10^{-2}$m for gravitational redshift, and the largest bound $L_{*} \sim4\times 10^{10}$m for the precession of S2's orbit.

Bounded compactness from G(E)UP
The generalized uncertainty principle bounds the compactness of any object much heavier than the Planck mass by about 1/α, and the existence of black holes forces the GUP parameter to satisfy α ≲ 2.
