General
The detection of gravitational waves from binary systems composed of black holes and/or neutron stars by the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA collaborations has initiated a new era for precision studies of the cosmos. At the same time, quantum-field-theory approaches are being used to develop new mathematical tools for studying the non-linear problem of gravity, incorporating the remarkable structures of scattering amplitudes.
This Nordita conference "From Amplitudes to Gravitational Waves" (24–28 Jul 2023) serves as the focus event and grand finale of the adjacent Nordita program "Amplifying Gravity at All Scales" (26 Jun - 21 Jul). The conference is devoted to QFT-inspired methods applied to general relativity, ranging from scattering amplitudes to gravitational waves.
