  2. String Theory in the LHC Era 1. Electromagnetism and 5. Supersymmetry Special Relativity 2. The Quantum World 6. Einstein’s Gravity 3. Why do we need the Higgs? 7. Why is Quantum Gravity so Hard? 4. The Standard Model and Beyond 8. String Theory and Unification 9. String Theory and Particle Physics 2 Thursday, April 12, 12

  3. Electromagnetic Waves Wavelength λ Frequency ν = c λ Maxwell → fixed speed c Characterized by: • Intensity | E | 2 • Wavelength λ 3 Thursday, April 12, 12

  4. Photoelectric Effect How does emission depend on • Intensity of beam? • Wavelength of beam? 4 Thursday, April 12, 12

  9. Photoelectric Effect Electromagnetic waves have a ‘smallest piece’ 7 Thursday, April 12, 12

  10. Photoelectric Effect Electromagnetic waves have a ‘smallest piece’ Photon energy is determined by its wavelength E = hc λ = h ν Planck constant Smallest pieces - ‘quanta’ h ∼ 6 . 626 × 10 − 34 J · s 7 Thursday, April 12, 12

  11. Photoelectric Effect Photon energy is Wavelength, λ ↔ Energy of each photon determined by wavelength Beam intensity ↔ # of photons E = hc λ = h ν Electron interacts with one photon at a time Incident light → Ejected only if wavelength short enough (photons) 8 Thursday, April 12, 12

  12. Two Important Points: 1. ‘Particle-like’ behavior of light 2. Correlation between energy and length scales Energy E = hc λ Wavelength 9 Thursday, April 12, 12

  13. We observe the world through scattering experiments Wavelength of light limits distance scales that we can resolve 10 Thursday, April 12, 12

  20. Must go to higher energies to probe small distance scales LHC ∼ 10 − 18 cm (0 . 000000000000000001 cm) Strings: 10 − 33 cm? 12 Thursday, April 12, 12

  21. Waves and Particles Sometimes light behaves ....and sometimes like a like a wave.... particle ...depends on the question we ask Let’s examine some important wave behavior and its implications 13 Thursday, April 12, 12

  22. Waves and Uncertainty E = hc λ A photon in this wave carries momentum λ p = h λ But where is it? 14 Thursday, April 12, 12

  29. Waves and Uncertainty + = ∆ λ + ∆ x + + ... ✓ 1 ◆ & 1 ∆ x ∆ λ General property of waves 16 Thursday, April 12, 12

  30. Heisenberg Uncertainty p = h Quantum Theory: Light composed of photons λ ✓ 1 ◆ ∆ x ∆ p & h & 1 ∆ x ∆ λ Cannot pin down position and momentum of a photon (more fundamental than our treatment suggests) 17 Thursday, April 12, 12

  31. So Far: 1. Light waves composed of many quanta -- photons • Wave can behave like stream of particles 2. Energy and momentum determined by wavelength E p 3. Cannot pin down and to arbitrary precision x p What about particles (eg electrons)? Do they behave like waves? 18 Thursday, April 12, 12

  60. Electron passing through each slit becomes ‘entangled’ with its detector Detectors Spoils cancellation that caused interference pattern → ‘Decoherence’ 30 Thursday, April 12, 12

  61. Decoherence is not ‘wave function collapse’.... Explains why the wave function ‘seems’ to collapse Detectors Interaction with environment spoils quantum ‘cancellations’, leading to ‘classical behavior’ 31 Thursday, April 12, 12

  62. Explains why detectors destroy the interference pattern Detectors ...but not the whole story 32 Thursday, April 12, 12
