Black holes could span 60 decades of mass - from the Planck scale (10-5g) to the cosmological scale (1022Mo) - and therefore provide an important link between microphysics and macrophysics. In the macroscopic domain, attention has recently turned to the possibility that primordial black holes (i.e. those formed in the early universe) could provide the dark matter or the black-hole mergers...

9. Transferring two massive mirrors into a single quantum object

When a single quantum object decays into two, the new objects show quantum entanglement. For the experimental demonstration of this entanglement, a large number of identical decays need to be available and specific measurements on the new objects performed. This talk considers the opposite direction of evolution and describes an experiment, in which two laser mirrors that are suspended as...

11. Evidence for the history of cosmic expansion

Matthias Bartelmann

13/02/2019, 10:30

The cosmic expansion function, quantifying how the relative cosmic expansion rate developed in cosmic history, is one of two central and (almost) directly observable properties of our Universe. From a theoretical point of view, the expansion function is determined by the time evolution of all forms of matter and energy density in the Universe. Empirically, it enters into all distance measures...
