I will give an overview of proposals to test the quantization of the gravitational field using terrestrial experiments. This will include entanglement experiments, searches for noise in gravitational wave interferometers, and "single-graviton detection" experiments. As a particular example of a non-standard gravity model that could be tested, I will discuss a recent phenomenological model of "entropic gravity" and its experimental signatures.
