Course Details
• Advanced Quantum Mechanics & Relativity: Understanding the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics and general relativity, and exploring how they can be combined to describe the behavior of matter and energy at extremely small scales.
• Quantum Field Theory in Curved Space-Time: Examining the behavior of quantum fields in the presence of curved space-time, which is a crucial aspect of quantum gravity. This unit will cover topics such as particle creation in curved space-time and the Unruh effect.
• Loop Quantum Gravity: Delving into one of the most promising approaches to quantum gravity, loop quantum gravity attempts to reconcile general relativity with quantum mechanics by quantizing space-time itself. This unit will cover topics such as spin networks and the area and volume operators.
• String Theory & Quantum Gravity: Exploring the relationship between string theory and quantum gravity, including how string theory can provide a consistent framework for quantizing gravity. This unit will cover topics such as superstring theory and the string theory landscape.
• Quantum Gravity Phenomenology: Investigating the potential experimental signatures of quantum gravity, including tests of the equivalence principle, violations of Lorentz invariance, and the search for extra dimensions.
• Black Holes & Quantum Gravity: Examining the role of quantum gravity in understanding the behavior of black holes, including the information paradox, Hawking radiation, and the possibility of quantum black hole formation.
• Cosmology & Quantum Gravity: Exploring the implications of quantum gravity for our understanding of the early universe, including the role of inflation, the cosmic microwave background radiation, and the nature of dark matter and dark energy.
• Quantum Gravity & Quantum Information: Investigating the relationship between quantum gravity and quantum information theory, including topics such as entanglement, holography, and the nature of space-time itself.
• Mathematical Tools for Quantum Gravity: Developing the mathematical tools necessary for studying quantum gravity, including differential geometry, topology, and representation theory.
• Advanced Topics in Quantum Gravity: Covering advanced topics in quantum gravity,
