Loop Quantum Gravity — •Thomas Thiemann — Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute), Am Mühlenberg 1, D-14476 Potsdam

In order to resolve challenging puzzles in fundamental physics such as in modern cosmology, a quantum theory of gravity is required. One candidate for such a theory is Loop Quantum Gravity to which we give an introduction. We then investigate what LQG has to say about the quantum physics of the early universe.
