Direct link to Nature, so you can skip ScienceAlert.

I'm curious how the detector would actually work, and also what the result would be in the case where gravity is intrinsically classical.

PBS SpaceTime has a video on that this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAtbzhpI4Js

Since it wasn't clear until I started to watch: This talks about the possibility of semiclassical quantum gravity in specific. They also gave a refresher on the basic problem if needed. Very nice!

Unfortunately it looks at a different experiment, though.

1.5 ton aluminum bar, chilled to absolute zero. This would be a massive project to setup
