The Quantum of Mechanics – exploring mechanical motion in the quantum regime

Prof. Dr Markus Aspelmeyer, Professor of Physics at the University of Vienna, Austria, Jentschke Lecture 2018 The quantum optical control of solid-state mechanical devices, quantum optomechanics, has emerged as a new frontier of light-matter interactions. Devices currently being studied cover a mass range of more than 17 orders of magnitude - from nanomechanical waveguides of some...

Post-Truth: Implications for science, policy makers and society

Prof. Ortwin Renn, Scientific Director at Institut für Transformative Nachhaltigkeitsforschung (IASS) in Potsdam, Jentschke Lecture 2021 In an era of post-truth claims and fake news scientific input to public discourse and collective decision-making seems to be more required than ever. However, the nature of what science can and should offer to the decision makers has been under...

Gravitational Wave Astronomy: Listening to the sounds of the dark universe!

Prof. Dr Karsten Danzmann, Director at Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics, Leibniz University Hannover, Jentschke Lecture 2017 For thousands of years we have been looking at the universe with our eyes. But most of the universe is dark and will never be observable with electromagnetic waves. Since September 14th, 2015, everything is different: Gravitational waves...

Imaging Fundamental Processes (Thought, experiment and the accessible universe)

Prof. Dr. George Sterman, Stony Brook University, Heinrich Hertz Lecture 2018 The contemporary theory of fundamental forces can be pictured as just a handful of particle species, acting among themselves according to a few simple rules. This theory can in principle account for the richness of the visible universe. It results from a centuries-long process of speculation and...

Probing the Edges of the Universe: Black Holes, Horizons and Strings

Prof. Dr. Andrew Strominger, Havard University, Heinrich Hertz Lecture 2019 The visible universe has edges, known as horizons, which surround black holes and other inaccessible spacetime regions. They are governed by a universal but still-mysterious set of laws discovered a half century ago by Stephen Hawking. These laws tell us that black holes are paradoxically both the...

Mistakes on the way to a good idea: Peccei-Quinn Symmetry. A tribute to Roberto Peccei

Prof. Dr. Helen Quinn, SLAC, Heinrich Hertz Lecture 2020 I will talk about the development of the idea now known as Peccei Quinn symmetry, and its consequences. I will use this work that I did together with Roberto Peccei to illustrate key features of how science progresses. While the problem we were addressing, and the answer we found for it are quite technical, this will...

Cosmology and astrophysics into the next decade

Prof. Matias Zaldarriaga, IAS Princeton, Heinrich Hertz Lecture 2021 Over the past decades we have seen remarkable improvements in our understanding of the Cosmos. We have been able to determine the composition of the Universe, its age and expansion history with outstanding precision. We have gathered very interesting clues about the initial conditions of the hot Big Bang and...

Quest for Unification

Professor Edward Witten, IAS Princeton, Heinrich Hertz Lecture 2002 A hundred years ago, Heinrich Hertz could proof experimentally that electricity and magnetism are two aspects of one single force - electromagnetism. According to our present knowledge, four fundamental forces altogether determine all the phenomena in nature: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong and the weak...

Black Holes and Quantum Mechanics

Professor Gerard 't Hooft, Universiteit Utrecht, Heinrich Hertz Lecture 2003 Arguments from quantum field theory, thermodynamics and superstring physics indicate that black holes have got a well defined quantum structure. The quantum mechanical states are characterized by observables distributed uniformly over the horizon of the black holes. Deep and fundamental problems...

Connecting Quarks with the Cosmos

Professor Michael S. Turner, National Science Foundation NSF, Heinrich Hertz Lecture 2004 Today, cosmologists and particle physicists are asking many questions of the same questions, but for different reasons. Cosmologists want to understand the origin, evolution and destiny of the Universe and particle physicists want to understand the fundamental laws that govern it. Among...

m = E/c2 : The Origin of Mass

Professor Frank Wilczek, MIT, Heinrich Hertz Lecture 2005 Einstein's famous equation, E = mc2, asserts that energy and mass are different aspects of the same reality. In the mind of the general public, it is usually associated with the idea the small amounts of mass can be converted into large amounts of energy, as in nuclear reactors. For fundamental physics, however, the...
