Quantum gravity [electronic resource] / Claus Kiefer. Kiefer, Claus, 1958- Quantum gravity. QC178 530.143 23 Previous ed.: 2007. Includes bibliographical references and index. Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (viewed on Apr. 19, 2012). The search for a quantum theory of the gravitational field is one of the great open problems in theoretical physics. This book presents a self-contained discussion of the concepts, methods and applications that can be expected in such a theory, unifying quantum theory with Einstein's theory of general relativity.
