Abstract

Measurements of gravitational lensing in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) directly probe the projected distribution of dark matter out to high redshifts. The CMB lensing maps thus encode a wealth of information about both fundamental physics (e.g., dark energy and neutrino properties) and high-redshift astrophysics. I will illustrate this by first reviewing measurements of CMB lensing with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, discussing both CMB lensing auto-correlations and cross-correlations with quasars, galaxies and optical lensing. I will then discuss ongoing and upcoming measurements of CMB polarization lensing with the POLARBEAR and ACTPol experiments and explain the great scientific potential of such polarization lensing studies in the very near future.
