[Enzo Pascale]

Dear all, it is my great pleasure to bring to your attention the following
physics colloquium.
Please, encourage undergraduate and graduate students to attend the seminar.

Title: The Quantum Universe in the Planck Era and Beyond

Speaker: Prof J. Richard Bond
Institution: Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics
Date: Tuesday 16th April 2019
Time: 4:00pm
Location: Aula Conversi, Marconi Building, Dept. of Physics, Sapienza
University

Abstract:
Over the 25 years from the Planck Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB)
satellite go-ahead to our 2018 Legacy release, cosmology became a precision
science that established our standard model, full of dark energy and matter
as well as "ordinary" matter. I will overview the CMB golden age
development, reaching back into the early 80s to our future ambitions. But
it is the Planck maps of the ultra-early Universe that I will concentrate
on. These reveal a remarkable simplicity in the quantum fluctuations that
create the cosmic web of galaxies that we inhabit. This a tale of 4
Plancks: the satellite, Planck's constant for quantum fluctuations and for
their Fokker-Planck quantum diffusion, all happening rather near the Planck
energy-scale.
In future CMB experiments we are in quest of "beyond the standard model"
physics, in more complex density-structures and in gravity-wave
fluctuations.
