ZARM Talk: Atome, Gravitation & das Quantenrätsel: Wo stehen wir heute
Wie gut verstehen wir, wie Atome in einem Gravitationsfeld fallen? Können wir zuverlässige und überprüfbare Informationen aus Theorien gewinnen, die grundsätzlich unvereinbar scheinen? Antworten gibt es am 3. Juli 2025 um 14 Uhr im ZARM.
- Der Vortrag findet in englischer Spracher statt -
ZARM Talk by Domenico Giulini
from Leibniz University Hannover & ZARM
- Date: 03 July 2025
- Time: 14:00
- Location: ZARM, room 1730
How things (atoms) fall
A longstanding and most challenging problem in theoretical physics concerns our understanding of how gravity affects the dynamics of quantum systems. As Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity are regarded as fundamentally incompatible, we face the problem of how to derive testable predictions within this apparently incoherent set of schemes. In his talk, Domenico Giulini will review some of the amazing and also puzzling aspects of gravity in the strong field regime and also address the project of measuring spacetime-curvature effects with long-baseline atom interferometers in the weak gravitational field of the Earth. The talk will be at an introductory level.
