radical⇌matter: On Quantum Physics
An introduction by Philipp Haslinger
Since the radical⇌matter project often references terms from quantum physics and puts them into a philosphical-metaphorical context, we asked Philipp
Haslinger to tell us about his research and to give a basic introduction to his field of expertise.
Philipp is a quantum physicist at the Atomic Institute of TU Wien and was awarded the 2021 Recognition Prize by the state of Lower Austria for his research on dark energy. Together with a team at UC Berkeley, the physicist investigated various dark energy models. Using an optimised atomic physics method, with a measurement accuracy that is more than 100 times higher, various dark energy theories could be examined very precisely and partially ruled out. "In this experiment, we were then also able to demonstrate for the first time an attractive force on atoms caused by thermal radiation," Philipp Haslinger reports. With his research, the physicist is contributing to a better understanding of the universe and the study of dark energy.
Due to the prevailing COVID guidelines, the presentation was held in hybrid mode.
