Description

The Planck scale is generally believed to mark the onset of quantum gravity effects. In this talk, I will illustrate some of the most relevant features of models where the Planck scale governs deformations of relativistic symmetries and discuss opportunities for experimental tests of such models arising in physical frameworks much below the Planck scale. This concerns astrophysical observations, sensitive to tiny residual signatures at low energies thanks to amplification mechanisms, and table-top experiments, whose extremely high-precision might soon allow us to test the interplay between (quantum) gravity and quantum systems at ultra-low energies.
