In this talk, we will explore what low-energy experiments on gravitationally mediated entanglement (GME) can reveal about the quantum nature of gravity. We will analyze the key assumptions necessary to interpret GME experiments as evidence for quantum aspects of the gravitational interaction and examine how these assumptions influence our conclusions. Additionally, we will discuss possible modifications to experimental designs aimed at minimizing dependence on assumptions. Then we will discuss what these experiments in different regimes can and cannot probe about gravity’s quantum nature.
