Cover Story: The VIP-2 (VIolation of the Pauli exclusion principle-2) collaboration is conducting high-sensitivity experiments on foundational issues in quantum gravity and quantum mechanics within the low-background environment of the Gran Sasso underground laboratories of the INFN. Our recent phenomenological investigations predict a characteristic electromagnetic radiation signature for non-commutative quantum gravity and dynamical wave function collapse models in the keV range. This work details our ongoing efforts to optimize a prototype setup using a broad-energy germanium (BEGe) detector. The goal is to achieve a lower energy threshold in the order of keV and test the peculiar X-ray signature expected from selected targets with varying atomic structures. We discuss the current status of the activities, the challenges faced, and future plans. View this paper

The description of the electron–electron interactions in two-dimensional materials has a dimensional mismatch, where electrons live in (2 + 1)D while photons propagate in (3 + 1)D. In order to define an action in (2 + 1)D, one may perform a dim...
