Abstract

In this paper, we consider the gravitational tests for the extended uncertainty principle (EUP) metric, which is a large-scale quantum correction to Schwarzschild metric. We calculate gravitational redshift, geodetic precession, Shapiro time delay, precession of Mercury and S2 star's orbits. Using the results of experiments and observations, we obtain the lower bounds for the EUP fundamental length scale L-*. We obtain the smallest bound L-* 9 x 10(-2) m for gravitational redshift, and the largest bound L-* similar to 4 x 10(10) m for the precession of S2's orbit. Copyright (C) 2022 EPLA
