DESCRIPTION:The Theoretical Advanced Study Institute in Particle Physics (T
 ASI) presents a Public Lecture\, \n\n“Unraveling the quantum secrets of 
 black holes”\n\nPresented by: Professor Luca Iliesiu\, University of Cal
 ifornia\, Berkeley\n\nAbstract:  Black holes are often portrayed as cosmic
  vacuum cleaners that swallow everything\, even light. In reality\, they a
 re far richer and more revealing: each black hole is a natural laboratory 
 where the two great pillars of modern physics — Einstein’s general rel
 ativity and quantum mechanics — meet head-on. In this talk\, we will ven
 ture from the known\, the black holes that we can observe in our sky\, int
 o the unknown\, where we begin to understand how black holes obey the rule
 s of quantum mechanics. No math background is needed — just curiosity ab
 out how the darkest objects in the cosmos shed light on some of the deepes
 t questions in physics.\n\nAbout the speaker: Luca Iliesiu received his BA
  in Physics from Princeton University in 2015. He remained there for his P
 hD\, which he received in 2020. He was then appointed as a postdoctoral fe
 llow at Stanford University\, where he was part of the Simons Ultra Quantu
 m Matter Collaboration\, before becoming faculty at Berkeley in 2024. Ilie
 siu has a broad set of interests in quantum field theory\, quantum gravity
 \, and their relation to particle and condensed matter physics.  On the gr
 avity side\, he seeks to understand how gravitational objects\, such as bl
 ack holes\, obey the rules of quantum mechanics. On the quantum field theo
 ry side\, he is interested in understanding the space of such theories usi
 ng analytic and numerical constraints. Recent research highlights include 
 resolving the longstanding problem of the breakdown of thermodynamics for 
 low-temperature black holes\, recovering the integer degeneracy of supersy
 mmetric black hole microstates by solely using the gravitational path inte
 gral\, or understanding how global symmetries are violated in quantum grav
 ity due to non-perturbative effects.
