Title:
Quantum black holes: a macroscopic window into quantum gravity
Speaker:
Abstract:
The pioneering work of Bekenstein and Hawking in the 1970s showed that black holes have thermodynamic properties like temperature and entropy. This discovery gave rise to deep questions about the quantum structure of spacetime, in particular, (1) What is the nature of the microscopic states underlying a black hole? (2) How does one describe the collective behavior (phases) of these microstates?
