FRANK WILCZEK

Frank Wilczek took part in the 2026 Nobel Symposium on Metamaterials, Nobel Symposium NS205, held from 29 June to 1 July 2026 at Umeå University in Sweden. The symposium explored metamaterials science and technology, and how light and sound can be structured in space and time. About the Symposium The symposium was organized by Associate Professor Nicolò Maccaferri and colleagues at the Department of Physics at Umeå University, within a framework set by the Nobel organisations

The Quantum Connections series brings graduate students and postdocs together with leading researchers across the quantum frontier, from quantum matter and information to the fundamental structure of matter. The series runs summer schools in Sweden and winter schools in China. Explore the recent editions below.

When two black holes merge, the newly formed black hole "rings down," radiating gravitational waves at a set of characteristic frequencies known as quasinormal modes. In this work, Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek and Sreenath K. Manikandan show that nonlinear gravitational effects cause these long-lived modes to become quantum mechanically squeezed, a subtle quantum correlation imprinted on the radiation. For the fundamental mode of a Schwarzschild black hole, they estimate the

"Color vision is a very important way that humans and animals gather information about the external world. Different creatures (including different humans) have different abilities to sense color and to interpret what they see. In effect, they live in different color vision worlds. Using modern scientific insight, machine intelligence, imagination and a sense of humor we can tour these worlds and sample some scenery." Wednesday, February 18th, 2026 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM (Doors Op
