Gravitational waves are a prediction of classical linearlized gravity - gravitational waves are to (classical) gravitons what light waves are to photons.


But we have direct experimental confirmation of light behaving light both a wave and as a particle. Do we have any such evidence to show gravity exhibiting particle like behavior?


No, but we predict it to be essentially impossible to observe a graviton. http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0601043
