Noise and decoherence induced by gravitons
read the original abstract
We study quantum noise and decoherence induced by gravitons. We derive a Langevin equation of geodesic deviation in the presence of gravitons. The amplitude of noise correlations tells us that large squeezing is necessary to detect the noise. We also consider the decoherence of spatial superpositions of two massive particles caused by gravitons in the vacuum state and find that gravitons could give a relevant contribution to the decoherence. The decoherence induced by gravitons would offer new vistas to test quantum gravity in tabletop experiments.

Squeezed Gravitons and One-Loop Self-Energy under Light-Cone Smearing
Graviton quantum fluctuations smear the light cone in a state-dependent way that regularizes UV singularities in scalar field one-loop diagrams.

Squeezed Gravitons and One-Loop Self-Energy under Light-Cone Smearing
Gravitons in different quantum states smear the light cone via operator treatment of Synge's world function, regularizing UV singularities in phi^3 and phi^4 one-loop diagrams with a 10^{-10} correction from primordia...

Matter-Wave Interferometers as Open-System Dark Matter Detectors
The paper formulates dark matter detection in matter-wave interferometers as an open-system problem using Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theory, revealing channel asymmetries and Bose/Pauli factors for elastic scattering.

When does entanglement through gravity imply gravitons?
Entanglement through Newtonian potentials does not imply gravitons unless retardation effects are detected.
