Quantizing GR: Exact Quantum Loop Results in General Relativity

In summary: QFT has anything to do with black holes. On the other hand, I'm not going to say anything about the paper until I study it carefully :wink:In summary, the paper "Exact Quantum Loop Results in the Theory of General Relativity" presents a new approach to quantum general relativity using Feynman's idea of treating the graviton as a point particle with quantum fluctuations. This approach results in calculable loop corrections that are free of UV divergences and can be applied to various interacting field theories. The author and colleagues have had successful results applying this approach in phenomenological contexts at CERN. The paper suggests that this paradigm could potentially solve outstanding problems in the union

I'm a physics undergrad with just one class to go. So forgive my if this is a dumb question. Is he just making a QM model for gravitational waves (by quantizing them into gravitons) or does it extend to crazy non-wavy, non-linear spacetimes?

crazy non-wavy, non-linear spacetimes is a little vague
