Project description

This project aims to change the way that we understand and use quantum field theory to make predictions for experiments - such as scattering amplitudes. For these predictions, the traditional methods are no longer used by experts. This project will advance the revolution in our understanding by extending the reach of powerful new frameworks to more general theories. The grant will support the recruitment of two postdocs and one PhD student to contribute to these developments.
