Sažetak:

The gravitational field as described by general relativity has thus far eluded
attempts at full quantisation, unlike the other major fields of physics. One
avenue for the potential quantisation of gravity is given by loop quantum
gravity. This talk will introduce the development and implementation of the
loop quantum gravity paradigm and some of its predictions. What emerges is a
theory of "quantum geometry" (a quantum counter-part to the "classical
geometry" of general relativity) which respects the symmetries of general
relativity. This will be followed by a discussion of some of the theory's
predictions and some of our work  regarding loop quantum black holes.
Specifically, black hole entropy and the resolution of the classical
singularities are discussed.
