UCL gets £8m gift to test if spacetime is quantum with new institute
University College London is creating the David Potter Institute to combine theoretical and experimental physics, funded by an £8 million gift. The institute will investigate if spacetime itself is quantum, a question physicists have long struggled with. Researchers will develop quantum sensors to measure small forces and test competing theories on gravity.
