Quantum Gravity at Neutrino Telescopes
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Parallel talk presented at the XXI International Workshop on Neutrino Telescopes - Padova 29 September - 3 October 2025 (https://agenda.infn.it/event/44606/) Abstract: Quantum gravitational effects are expected to reveal themselves at extreme energies, cosmological distances, in a break-down of standard quantum mechanics, or in the breaking of global symmetries. Neutrinos offer a unique potential to probe such effects: they are perfect quantum probes, their masses may be related to lepton number or flavor and thus global symmetry breaking and extra-galactic neutrinos have been observed at energies way above the PeV scale. We discuss Lepton Number Violation, Quantum-Gravitational Decoherence, Altered Dispersion Relations, Holographic Scaling and Entanglement Measures and assess the future perspectives to probe quantum gravity at neutrino telescopes.
