GGI Lectures on the Theory of Fundamental Interactions 2025

Jan 13, 2025 - Jan 31, 2025



Abstract
The lectures are primarily addressed to Ph.D. students in High Energy Particle and Astroparticle Physics. The aim of the school is to give a pedagogical introduction to the basic concepts and tools needed for research, covering the foundations of the subject at a deep and advanced level. The main topics include the Standard Model of Particle Physics and its extensions, Collider Physics, Quantum Field Theory and Cosmology.

Abstract

Quantum Observables in High Energy Physics

Quantum Mechanics (QM), one of the most counter-intuitive and vanguard descriptions of fundamental phenomena ever conceived, is not only at the heart of our understanding of the Universe, of matter, and of its interactions, but has also gained a primary role in science and technology with a large range of applications to our everyday life going from computing, to information theory, to safe communications. While we currently have no motivation to think that QM would stop to describe phenomena at short distances, at least below the Planck scale, it is interesting to ponder to what extent fundamental quantum effects can be probed beyond the atomic scales (10ˆ−10 m). Such a question has recently gained further momentum after the observation of entanglement in the spin of top/anti-top quark pairs at the LHC, the highest energy accelerator experiment on earth, operating at the TeV (10ˆ−19 m, 10ˆ−28 s) scale. I will review the main ideas and recent exciting results in applying quantum information concepts and methods to the study of fundamental interactions at colliders.
