PIRSA:09100195

Applying the lessons learned in quantum information theory to gain a better understanding of quantum mechanics itself. Is quantum theory simply a new type of probability theory? Exploring new directions towards combining quantum theory with gravity.

PIRSA:09100192
Quantum Physics
Applications of the quantum nature of our universe to potential new technologies like quantum cryptography and quantum computation. In particular, theoretical developments such as fault-tolerant quantum codes and protocols for quantum error correction.
Meet a Scientist - Alexander Vilenkin

Alexander Vilenkin Tufts University

PIRSA:09100213

Theoretical models for cosmology – from standard to exotic (e.g. cosmic strings and monopoles). “Quantum creation” of multiple universes out of nothing; eternal inflation and the anthropic selection of a world that would ultimately become hospitable to life.
Meet a Scientist - Prof. Andreas Albrecht

Andreas Albrecht University of California, Davis
October 05, 2009

PIRSA:09100190
Astrophysics
Implications of high-energy elementary particle physics for physics of the early universe and its evolution (Big Bang, creation of matter, formation of galaxies, etc). And vice-versa: implications of observable cosmological data for fundamental physics.
Meet a Scientist - Lisa Randall
April 21, 2009

PIRSA:09100201
High Energy Physics

High Energy Physics

Astrophysics
Particle physics, cosmology, and the study of a wide variety of theoretical models – most notably ones involving extra dimensions of space. Randall works on several of the competing models of string theory in the quest to explain the fabric of the universe.
Meet a Scientist - Prof. Roderich Tumulka
April 02, 2009

PIRSA:09100211
Quantum Physics
Removing the mystery from quantum mechanics, the Bohmian perspective – a way of describing the motion of quantum particles, and applying this to spacetime singularities (where gravity becomes infinite) like those inside a black hole.
Meet a Scientist - John Norton

John Norton University of Pittsburgh
April 02, 2009

PIRSA:09040063
General Relativity & Quantum Cosmology
Philosophy of physics, puzzles about the content and status of foundational principles – the logic of physicists’ basic assumptions, especially with regards to space and time, and the history of science, e.g. exactly how Einstein made his discoveries.
Meet a Scientist - Prof. Bill Unruh

Bill Unruh University of British Columbia
April 02, 2009

PIRSA:09100210
General Relativity & Quantum Cosmology
Quantum gravity, quantum processes in the early universe, evaporation of black holes, limits on the measurements made by real detectors (coupled to the environment), and with regards to mathematical problems, studying techniques rather than finding solutions.
Meet a Scientist - Gerard Milburn

Gerard Milburn University of Queensland
April 02, 2009

PIRSA:09100209
Quantum Physics
Achievable experimental systems in quantum and atomic optics, the effects of measurement and control on quantum systems, quantum technologies for processing information and quantum computation.
Meet a Scientist - Jenann Ismael

Jenann Ismael Columbia University
April 02, 2009

PIRSA:09100207
Quantum Physics
The nature of time, probability and quantum mechanics, philosophy of physics and metaphysics, especially issues involving the role of mathematical tools like symmetry in physics, and applying this formal apparatus to the philosophy of mind.
Meet a Scientist - Sir Roger Penrose

Roger Penrose University of Oxford
January 27, 2009

PIRSA:09100203
General Relativity & Quantum Cosmology
Many aspects of geometry, black holes, novel views on the evolution of the universe (was there something before the Big Bang?), the interplay and unification of general relativity and quantum physics, and science of consciousness.
Meet a Scientist - Prof. Frank Wilczek

Frank Wilczek Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - Center for Theoretical Physics
January 27, 2009

PIRSA:09100205
High Energy Physics
Fundamental interactions between elementary particles, using deep ideas involving mathematical symmetry for restoring unity to the fundamental laws of nature (strong and weak nuclear forces, electromagnetism and gravity).
