We revisit the Bose-Marletto-Vedral (BMV) table-top experimental proposal - which aims to witness quantum gravity using gravity mediated entanglement - analyzing the role of locality in the experiment. We first carry out a fully quantum modelling of the interaction of matter and gravity and then show in what way gravity mediated entanglement in the BMV experiment could be accounted for without appealing to quantum degrees of freedom of the gravitational field. We discuss what assumptions are needed in order to interpret the current BMV experiment proposals as a proof of quantum gravity, and also identify the modifications that a BMV-like experiment could have in order to serve as proof of quantum gravity without having to assume the existence of a local mediators in the gravitational field.

Emergence of Non-Markovian Classical-Quantum Dynamics from Decoherence
Decoherence with a hidden environment in fully quantum systems produces effective non-Markovian classical-quantum dynamics, valid when the semi-Wigner operator remains positive semidefinite, reducing to Markovian CQ m...
