Phys. Rev. D 68, 067503 (2003) [2 pages]Note about the quantum of area in a noncommutative spaceReceived 20 May 2003; published 30 September 2003 In this note we show that in a two-dimensional noncommutative space the area operator is quantized; this outcome is compared with the result obtained by loop quantum gravity methods. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
