  * Idea: Gravitational decoherence is the loss
    of coherence in low-energy quantum systems resulting from random metric fluctuations.
  * Proposals: (Kay) Based on a unitary framework
    for quantum gravity, assumes that the operators tied to the gravitational degrees of freedom are
    unobservable and equates physical entropy with matter-gravity entanglement entropy; (Blencowe)
    Weak gravitational waves that fill the Universe are enough to disturb quantum superpositions and
    ensure that large objects behave according to classical physics.
