Quantum mechanics in the early universe
We will review the mechanism for the generation of primordial fluctuations. We will then discuss ways in which one can test their quantum mechanical nature
Quantum mechanics and the geometry of spacetime
After a short review of the gauge gravity duality, we will discuss black holes.
We will explain what the duality tells us about black holes as viewed from the outside.
We will review some of the puzzles that arise when we try to describe the black hole
interior. We will describe wormholes and their interpretation in the dual field theory as entangled states
