It's non-trivial since if you do not have a background metric you cannot define the scale, with respect to which couplings are supposed to run. So new approaches to renormalization have appeared. Perimeter has a workshop on this and a number of Monday 28 Sep talks are on line
http://pirsa.org/C15064

Talks by:
Wieland
Bahr
Bonzom
Guifre Vidal
Dittrich
Zapata

As of now also a couple of the 29 Sep talks are also online.

I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
