We review aspects of loop quantum gravity in a pedagogical manner, with the aim of enabling a precise but critical assessment of its achievements so far. We emphasise that the off-shell (`strong') closure of the constraint algebra is a crucial test of quantum space-time covariance, and thereby of the consistency, of the theory. Special attention is paid to the appearance of a large number of ambiguities, in particular in the formulation of the Hamiltonian constraint. Developing suitable approximation methods to establish a connection with classical gravity on the one hand, and with the physics of elementary particles on the other, remains a major challenge.

Test of Quantum Gravity in Optical Magnetometers
GUP-induced shifts and broadening of the 129Xe Larmor frequency are estimated to be reachable with a projected 10^-15 sensitivity magnetometer if the GUP parameter α0 is near 10^8.
