Formation and Abundance of Primordial Black Holes

Primordial black holes can form in the early Universe from the collapse of cosmological perturbations after the cosmological horizon crossing. They are possible candidates for the dark matter as well as for the seeds of supermassive black holes observed…

Current-induced magnetization control and spin transport in ferromagnetic heterostructures

Spin-based electronics, or the so-called spintronics, is a research field whose aim is to use magnetic materials and the electron’s spin to store, manipulate, and carry information in electronic devices [1]. Spintronics offers very appealing and promising…

Fundamental physics with muons: from the proton radius to antimatter gravity

At the Paul Scherrer Institute ongoing precision experiments involving muons and muonic atoms are targeting fundamental questions in flavor physics, probing the symmetries of the Standar Model, and measuring fundamental constants. In this talk these…

The quantum mechanics of perfect fluids

Hydrodynamics of an ordinary inviscid fluid can be systematically described by a classical long distance Effective Field Theory for sound waves. However, this EFT has non-propagating modes and it is hard to make sense of it as a quantum field theory in a…

Is Inflationary Cosmology consistent with Fundamental Physics?

The inflationary scenario has become the standard paradigm of early universe cosmology. However, there are now indications based on fundamental physics considerations that inflation is very hard to realize. I will review the successes of inflation,…

Romancing the CERN: Constructive Interferences between Physics and Literature

Physics and literature make odd bedfellows. More than 60 years after the famous C.P. Snow’s anathema sanctioning the incommunicability between the sciences and the humanities, the debate on the two cultures is still very much alive. Studies in the field…
