A HUGE theoretical work: string theory, loop gravity, …. However, for many years no testable prediction emerged from these studies. In the last few years this common wisdom was challenged: a first series of testable proposals concerned photons propagating on cosmological distances [AmelinoCamelia et al.], with the problem of extracting QG effects from a limited (uncontrollable) observational sample affected by various propagation effects. Several QG theories (string theories, holographic theory, heuristic arguments from black holes,…) predict noncommutativity of position variables at Planck scale Sort of space-time uncertainty principle (L= radial separation) Recently, effects in interferometers connected to non-commutativity of position variables in different directions were considered both for cavities with microresonators [Pikovsky et al.] and two coupled interferometers the so called ``holometer'‘ [Hogan]. In particular this last idea led to the planning of a double 40m interferometer at Fermilab Here we show how the use of photon number correlations in twin beams can largely improve the sensibility of this interferometer 1 2 Holographic Noise (HN) and interferometry Two Interferometers Single Interferometer (┴) time (‖) M1 M2 BS «Overlapping» spacetime volume «Separated» spacetime volume HOLOMETER : principle of operation • Evaluate the cross-correlation between two equal Michelson interferometers occupying the same space-time volume (‖ conf.) • HNs are correlated while Shot Noises are uncorrelated vanishing over a long integration time • Control measurement can be performed «turned off» separating the space-time volumes ( ┴ conf.)

Quantum light enhance the sensitivity of the Holometer below the “Shot-Noise” limit • Squeezed light provides an enhancement of the order of the mean number of photon of the squeezed light • Twin-Beam provides a complete suppression of the shot-noise contribution (0!!!!) • Losses (effectively) affect this enhancement • Radiation pressure is not an problem (for affordable light power level) PRL 110, 213601 (2013)
