Optomechanical devices provide a high degree of control over the optical and mechanical degrees of freedom of their constituents. These devices are therefore particularly suitable for sensing applications but also for performing fundamental tests of…

It’s not straight-forward to adequately and uncontroversially explain, in terms of theory testing alone, the significance of difficult proposed experiments to produce and observe gravitationally induced entanglement (GIE).

In this talk, I will start by describing Einstein's original understanding of coordinate systems and how that understanding led to the hole argument and a detour in the creation of general relativity.

The natural interpretation of asymptotic conditions on Yang-Mills theory and general relativity is as defining types of isolated subsystems.

Everettianism is a realist many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics whose popularity has grown after Wallace (2012) resolved the objection that it cannot recover the Born rule.

Already in classical physics, the definition of a "time-reversed" process is not obvious when the process is dissipative.

I will talk about a method to leverage the Bell nonlocality of quantum physics to certify indefinite causal order in the quantum switch in the presence of partial knowledge of the causal structure.

As chronicled by MIT historian of physics, David Kaiser, in his 2011 book, How the Hippies Saved Physics, Nick Herbert, a Stanford physicist, had his FLASH paper submitted to Foundations of Physics in 1981.

The interplay between quantum theory, thermodynamics, and general relativity emerges as a promising direction for new insights as thermalisation processes often arise in scenarios of importance for the interplay of quantum and gravitational physics.
