Multiscale Approaches to Quantum Mechanics - Vacuum, Atoms, Engineering-Scale

Explore a comprehensive lecture on multiscale approaches to quantum mechanics, covering topics from vacuum and atoms to engineering-scale structures. Delve into experimental evidence, Hessian matrices, Faraday cage effects, and macroscale cantilevers. Examine model interpretations, charge transfer, phonons, and error analysis in measurements. Investigate binding energies, quantum fields, and the quantum vacuum, including the Heron of bomb effect and thunderweight interactions. Compare quantum and classical pictures, analyze classical scaling laws, and explore beyond perturbation theory. Gain insights into future work in this field presented by Alexandre Tkatchenko from the University of Luxembourg at IPAM's Multiscale Approaches in Quantum Mechanics Workshop.
