Gravity and Quantum Physics - Effects and Measurements

Explore the fascinating intersection of gravity and quantum physics in this guest lecture by Professor Rainer Verch from the University of Leipzig. Delve into theoretical cases where quantum effects play a significant role in gravitational physics, with a focus on the Hawking effect and its implications for black hole radiation. Examine the challenges of observing these minute quantum effects in gravitational contexts and discuss the potential for measuring spacetime geometry using quantum objects. Gain insights into the complex mathematics underlying these concepts from an expert in theoretical physics, quantum field theory in curved spacetimes, and mathematical physics. Learn about Professor Verch's distinguished career, including his roles in academic leadership and contributions to international physics education.
