Jointly organized by Nordita – The Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics and Fysikum – The Department of Physics at Stockholm University, the event brings together a diverse panel of researchers to share insights into the fascinating world of high energy physics. Following the success of the first Quantum Leap event on quantum technologies, this edition aims to provide an inspiring and intellectually stimulating discussion that highlights both the depth and breadth of the field.
Speakers
Frank Wilczek – Professor and Nobel Laureate in Physics, Stockholm University/MIT/T.D. Lee Institute/Wilczek Quantum Center/Shanghai Jiao Tong University/Arizona State University); Opening remarks: historical perspective on high-energy physics
Sara Strandberg – Professor, Stockholm University; High Energy Physics at CERN and its Connection to the Composition of the Universe
Oksana Iarygina – Postdoctoral Researcher, Nordita; Gravitational Waves as Probes of High-Energy Physics and Inflation in the Early Universe
Oliver Schlotterer – Associate Professor, Uppsala University; Links between Particle Physics and Gravity from Scattering Amplitudes
The event will be moderated by Jonas Enander, physicist and science communicator. Jonas holds a PhD in Physics and is currently in the spotlight for his recently published popular science book "Facing Infinity", about black holes.
Format
Each speaker will give a 15-minute presentation, followed by a panel discussion where they will explore key questions about the high-energy universe, including the connections between particles, gravity, and the structure of the cosmos, as well as the experimental and theoretical challenges in the field. Audience questions will also be included.
Who should attend?
Everyone with an interest in physics is warmly welcome: from researchers and students to curious members of the public.
No registration needed.
