Quantum Mechanics of Geometry
Over the past six years, a detailed framework has been constructed to unravel the quantum nature of the Riemannian geometry of physical space. A review of these developments is presented at a level which should be accessible to graduate students in physics. As an illustrative application, I indicate how some of the detailed features of the microstructure of geometry can be tested using black hole thermodynamics. Current and future directions of research in this area are discussed.
