Description

We present recent advances in our understanding on how quantum gravity can leave an imprint in gravitational-wave (GW) physics. Several gravity models beyond Einstein predict a primordial GW background accessible by LISA, Einstein Telescope and DECIGO. We discuss in particular nonlocal quantum gravity, which can be falsified within 3 years by BICEP Array.
