The Search for Quantum Gravity - KITP Public Lecture by Shiraz Minwalla

Explore the cutting-edge search for quantum gravity in this KITP Public Lecture delivered by Prof. Shiraz Minwalla from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. Delve into the foundational frameworks of quantum mechanics and general relativity, and discover the lessons learned from ongoing efforts to quantize gravity. Examine the AdS/CFT correspondence in String Theory as a potential complete quantization of certain gravitational theories, and consider its implications. Gain insights from Prof. Minwalla, a renowned theoretical physicist known for his contributions to quantum field theory, gravity, and string theory, including the discovery of the Fluid Gravity correspondence. This lecture, part of the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics Public Lecture Series, offers a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research that is transforming our understanding of the universe.
