= Canonical quantum gravity
{wiki=Canonical_quantum_gravity}
Canonical quantum gravity is a theoretical framework that seeks to quantize the gravitational field using the canonical approach, which is derived from Hamiltonian mechanics. This approach is distinctive because it aims to reconcile general relativity, the classical theory of gravitation, with quantum mechanics, providing insights into how gravity behaves at the quantum scale. The key features of canonical quantum gravity include: 1. **Hamiltonian Formulation**: It begins by expressing general relativity in a Hamiltonian framework.
