100 Years of Quantum Space-time: from Theory to Experiment
100 Years of Quantum Space-time: from Theory to Experiment
More than 100 years ago, the basic laws of quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of general relativity were discovered almost simultaneously. It was quickly recognized that combining these theories implied that space and time itself should also follow the laws of quantum mechanics. Yet, for much of the past century, testing this idea experimentally was considered science fiction.
In this talk, Dan Carney will explore three transformative developments in the past two decades that have dramatically shifted this perspective.
