Their unification into a theory of Quantum Gravity (QG) remains one of the main challenges of theoretical physics. A common featu re of candidate theories of QG is the existence of a minimal observable le ngth of the order of the Planck length. This prediction\, though\, is in c ontradiction with Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. In fact\, according to this principle it is possible to observe any length while increasing th e uncertainty in momentum. In the context of Quantum Gravity Phenomenology \, that studies QG effects in low-energy systems\, Heisenberg’s principle is then modified into the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP). GUP the n imposes a minimal uncertainty in position and predicts a deformed commut ation relation between position and momentum. In this talk\, after introdu cing the basics of the Uncertainty Principle\, I will show how the GUP can change known aspects of standard Quantum Mechanics\, leading to ways to t est theories of QG.\n DTSTART:20191112T203000Z DTEND:20191112T213000Z LOCATION:Room 4336\, CA\, Pav.
