  • PhD Position Gravitational Waves from Worldline Quantum Field Theory at Queen Mary University of London

    22.01.2025 PhD Position Gravitational Waves from Worldline Quantum Field Theory at Queen Mary University of London Since the first detection of gravitational waves (GWs) by a binary black hole merger in 2015 by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations, there has been tremendous interest in the gravitational two-body problem. The aim is to make predictions for future-generation detectors, including LISA, the Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer. Considerable theoretical progress is now being made using tools developed for Quantum Field Theory, by re-interpreting black holes and neutron stars as point particles. The Worldline Quantum Field Theory (WQFT) formalism, designed specifically to produce classical physical observables, has been incredibly successful in this regard.…
