Seminar: "Quantum Forces"
Guest Lecturer: Professor Yuval Grossman, Department of Physics, Cornell University
How do forces emerge in the quantum world, and what can they reveal about neutrinos?
The Institute of Advanced Studies is honored to host Professor Yuval Grossman as part of the Lowy Distinguished Guest Professors framework.
Professor Grossman will deliver a lecture titled Quantum Forces as part of the Particle Physics Seminar. The talk will explore the concept of force from both classical and quantum perspectives. Special attention will be given to the neutrino force, a long-range quantum interaction mediated by the exchange of two neutrinos, where two fermions effectively behave as a boson. Professor Grossman will present the theoretical foundations, distinctive features, and possible experimental probes of this phenomenon, concluding with a discussion of the implications for understanding neutrinos and the quantum structure of fundamental interactions.
