Inspired by the work of Wheeler among others, we have studied the problem of quantum measurements of space-time distances by applying the general principles of quantum mechanics as well as those of general relativity. Contrary to the folklore, the minimum error in the measurement of a length is shown to be proportional to the one-third power of the length itself. This uncertainty in space-time measurements implies an uncertainty of the space-time metric and yields quantum decoherence for particles heavier than the Planck mass. There is also a corresponding minimum error in energy-momentum measurements.

At the Edge of Uncertainty: Decoding the Cosmological Constant value with Bose-Einstein Distribution
The observed cosmological constant is re-expressed as a vacuum-energy cutoff at 2.2e-5 m, and a 41 K massless-boson Bose-Einstein condensate is claimed to reproduce the same scale.
