Quantum gravity is a theoretical framework that aims to describe gravity based on the principles of quantum mechanics. It seeks to reconcile the theories of general relativity, which describes gravity in terms of curved spacetime, with quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of particles at the smallest scales. Currently, there is no widely accepted theory of quantum gravity, but research in this field is active and ongoing.

True relativity refers to Einstein's theory of General Relativity, which describes how gravity operates in the universe. Quantum mechanics, on the other hand, is a theory that describes how particles and waves behave on a very small scale, such as at the level of atoms and subatomic particles. Both theories are fundamental in understanding different aspects of the physical world.

One problem with gravity is that it is not understood how it fits into the framework of quantum mechanics. Another issue is that gravity is weak compared to the other fundamental forces, making it difficult to study at the quantum level.

It isn't. One of the great failures of physics is the attempt to establish quantum gravity. It just doesn't work. The integration not only goes to infinity but infinity three times.

Not sure what you mean by "derive" quantum theory; that's along the lines of "deriving" gravity. In our Universe, quantum theory is the only one we've developed that matches experimental evidence. In all cases, quantum theory was developed mathematically simply because no other explanation existed that would match what occurs in our Universe.
Whether we like it or not, whether we really understand it or not, we are in a Universe that obeys quantum theory.

Quantum field theory in curved space-time describes how particles and fields interact in the presence of gravity. In this theory, the curvature of space-time affects the behavior of particles and fields, leading to phenomena such as particle creation and annihilation, as well as changes in the propagation of fields. This theory helps us understand how gravity influences the fundamental interactions of particles at a quantum level.
1 answer
We are not sure yet. According to Einstein's highly successful theory of general relativity gravity is the result of spacetime being warped by the presence of matter and energy. Particles then follow these curves giving rise to the phenomenon of gravity.
In quantum field theory gravity is instead described as being transmitted by a spin-2 particle called the graviton. This approach has several problems however, which is the main reason why we are not sure yet. But because all the other fundamental forces are described very well by quantum field theory most physicists think that in the future it will be possible to describe gravity in this way.
To be a bit more technical gravity arises in any quantum field theory where you require that the laws of physics are the same for any observer. This is commonly referred to as general covariance or (local) Lorentz invariance.
1 answer
Einstein's theory of general relativity describes gravity as the curvature of spacetime, while quantum physics describes the behavior of particles on a very small scale. Combining the two theories has proven difficult because they operate on vastly different scales and appear to make different assumptions about the nature of reality. Efforts continue to reconcile these two theories into a single framework, such as with theories like quantum gravity.

It depends on what you mean by leading. A few good candidates are string theory, the standard model and loop quantum gravity.

Quantum degeneracy pressure is a force that pushes against gravity in white dwarf stars, preventing them from collapsing further. This pressure comes from the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two particles can occupy the same quantum state. As white dwarf stars become more compact, the electrons within them are forced into higher energy states, creating a pressure that counteracts the force of gravity and keeps the star stable.

The laws of special relativity and quantum physics work together very well: relativistic quantum field theory was created for that very purpose (see, e.g., "Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell" by A. Zee, for a decent, modern introduction).
As for general relativity, there is indeed something of a problem. There has been a long, ongoing effort in the theoretical physics community to discover a correct quantum theory of gravity.
The two main difficulties have been these: First, quantum field theory is written in terms of fields defined on a fixed background space-time, whereas in general relativity space-time possesses a curvature which reacts to the matter and energy present. Second, treating gravity as "just another field" runs into problems at high energy scales (or very small distance scales), requiring an infinite number of parameters to be specified in order to define the theory (effectively eliminating its predictive power at such scales).
Not to admit defeat easily, theoretical physicists have searched for alternative theories of gravity which avoid these difficulties. M-theory / string theory seems to be one promising approach, loop quantum gravity (LQG) another, and there are many more besides (see the Wikipedia article on quantum gravity, in the related links below).

The theory that proposes gravity is caused by the exchange of particles between objects with mass is called the graviton theory. In this theory, gravitons are the hypothetical force carriers responsible for transmitting the force of gravity.

As of current scientific understanding, there is no evidence of an anti-gravity element or substance that can defy the laws of physics and create anti-gravity effects. Gravity is a fundamental force in the universe that is always attractive and cannot be negated with a single element.

It is not feasible for an atom to be held together by gravity because gravity is very weak at the atomic scale compared to the electromagnetic forces that bind atoms together. In theory, even if you had an atom small enough for gravity to be the dominant force, quantum effects would destabilize it.

The Planck number is significant in quantum physics because it represents the smallest possible unit of measurement for certain physical quantities, such as length, time, and energy. It sets fundamental limits on our understanding of the universe at extremely small scales and plays a key role in theories like quantum gravity and the nature of spacetime.

This cannot be answered within the Newtonian framework because gravity just exists, it is not caused by anything. It is a curious coincidence that inertial and gravitational masses are equal.
If we are willing to venture a bit further into quantum field theory however, an approximate answer may be formulated. I say approximate because a full answer would require an understanding of a quantum mechanical description of gravity and this has not yet been obtained.
But, according to quantum field theory gravity is caused by so-called local Lorentz invariance (or local supersymmetry if you are feeling fancy and like supersymmetry). What does this mean? This means the laws of nature are invariant under transformations of the Lorentz (a mathematical group describing spacetime rotations and boosts) group. The argument is a bit technical I'm afraid, but you can show that this leads directly towards a description of gravity in agreement with Einstein's.

They maintain gravity as light waves maintain light. They travel at the same speed
(300,000,000 meters per second) as light. The difference is that the quantum of
gravity, called the graviton, while it exists in theory, has never yet been detected.

String theory is one of the leading candidates for a theory of everything, that is, a theory that unifies all 4 basic forces of nature, viz, gravity, the electromagnetic force, the strong force and the weak force. The last 3 forces mentioned above are described by quantum mechanics. This is the link between quantum mechanics and string theory.
ps- If you believe in watertight definitions, then quantum mechanics is all the quantum theory till Dirac's equation. I'm taking quantum mechanics as the theory of the small as such, that is, all of the phenomena of the small from Plank till the standard model and beyond.

Gravitons are hypothetical particles that are believed to mediate the force of gravity in quantum physics. They are thought to play a role in unifying the fundamental forces of nature, specifically by helping to reconcile the theory of general relativity with quantum mechanics. The existence of gravitons could provide a deeper understanding of how gravity interacts with the other fundamental forces, such as electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces.

Gravitons are theoretical particles that are believed to mediate the force of gravity in quantum mechanics. Since gravitons do not have a well-defined size in the classical sense like everyday objects, their size is described within the framework of quantum field theory, where they are considered point-like particles with zero size.

If you try to describe gravity within the framework of quantum field theory then gravity consists of a field. A spin-2 graviton field to be exact. This has multiple problems however, which is the reason we don't have a theory of everything yet.
In classical mechanics gravity is often pictured as a field, just like an electric of magnetic field.
