The richness of particle physics

Maria Spiropulu - California Institute of Technology (Caltech) - Division of Physics Mathematics & Astronomy

June 22, 2015 PIRSA:15060044 Conference

I will discuss the state of particle physics today and emphasize the implications of the discovered H-boson in high energy physics and cosmology and the connections with the future discovery and precision machines and observatories world-wide.
Experiments Big and Small

June 22, 2015 PIRSA:15060038 Conference Other

I will discuss explorations of fundamental physics via the LHC, as well as smaller experiments which will play a leading role in the future.
Cause and Effect in a Quantum World

Robert Spekkens - Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics

June 22, 2015 PIRSA:15060039 Conference

Determining causal relationships is central to scientific understanding. Knowledge of such relations permit us not only to predict how a system will behave naturally, but also how it would behave under different hypothetical circumstances, including those where we exert control over some component…
Quantum Information in the 21st Century

John Preskill - California Institute of Technology (Caltech) - Division of Physics Mathematics & Astronomy

June 22, 2015 PIRSA:15060046 Conference Quantum Gravity

A new quantum age is dawning in which humans will be able to build and control scalable quantum systems with amazing properties and applications. Aside from enabling revolutionary future technologies, quantum information science is providing powerful new tools for attacking deep problems in…
Exploring the Warped Side of the Universe

Nergis Mavalvala - Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - Department of Physics

June 22, 2015 PIRSA:15060020 Conference

Some of the most violent events in the Universe are accompanied by spectacular warpages of space-time that travel to us in the form of gravitational waves. Gravitational waves were predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity over a century ago, but scientists have not yet detected them…
Emmy Noether: Her life, work, and influence

Ruth Gregory - King's College London , Peter Olver - University of Minnesota - School of Mathematics

June 22, 2015 PIRSA:15060040 Conference

Emmy Noether was a giant of mathematics whose work tied together two fundamental concepts: conservation laws and symmetries in nature. But who was she, and why does her work still have such impact? Mathematician Peter Olver explores Noether’s life and career, and delves into the curious history of…
Probing and Controlling Quantum Matter in Artificial Crystals of Light

Immanuel Bloch - Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) - Arnold Sommerfeld Center for Theoretical Physics

June 23, 2015 PIRSA:15060023 Conference

More than 30 years ago, Richard Feynman outlined the visionary concept of a quantum simulator for carrying out complex physics calculations. Today, his dream has become a reality in laboratories around the world. All this has become possible using complex experimental setups of thousands of optical…
Exploring Quantum Matter with the High Temperature Superconductors

Subir Sachdev - Harvard University

June 23, 2015 PIRSA:15060024 Conference

Apart from high temperature superconductivity, the cuprate compounds also display fascinating new types of metallic states from which the superconductivity descends. These metals have served as a remarkable laboratory for modern ideas on long-range quantum entanglement and its consequences for the…
Searching for the Dark Universe

June 23, 2015 PIRSA:15060041 Conference

For nearly a century, we have known that the majority of matter in the universe is not luminous. In the past few decades we have come to be certain that this matter is not only not luminous but not made out of any of the particle ever observed in a laboratory. I will describe the ongoing hunt for…
Photons from the Edge: Revealing Black Holes with the Event Horizon Telescope

Avery Broderick - University of Waterloo

June 23, 2015 PIRSA:15060021 Conference

The Event Horizon Telescope, global array of millimetre telescopes, has now enabled studies of nearby supermassive black holes on sub-horizon length scales. This unprecedented access opens a window onto not only the high-energy astrophysics of black hole accretion and jet formation, but also the…
Planck Results and Future Prospects in Cosmology

Kendrick Smith - Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics

June 23, 2015 PIRSA:15060042 Conference

In this talk I'll survey the current observational status in cosmology, highlighting recent developments such as results from the Planck satellite, and speculate on what we might achieve in the future. In the near future some important milestones will be exploration of the neutrino sector, and much…
