We will take you on a journey into the smallest scales and try to answer some of the most fundamental questions. What is "stuff" actually made of? And how does the big emerge from the small?
The Standard Model and Beyond: What We Know About the Subatomic World
Martina Fusi
(PhD Student at Southampton University)
The standard model (despite the humble name) is the most fundamental and comprehensive theory in science.
In this talk, I will walk you through the builing blocks of this amazing theory, built brick by brick: from neutrinos to the Z and W bosons, from the quark to the Higgs boson...
Finally, we will look at where we are today, the limits of what we know, and how particle physics is pushing forward in what has been defined as its 'high precision era'.

What Is the Quantum World, and How Does Our World Emerge From It?
Kia Romero Hojjati
(PhD Student at the University of Southampton)
In the quantum world, physics behave very differently from ours: things are in many places at the same time, and even the notion of a single "thing" breaks down. These are precisely the notions of quantum entanglement and superposition.
So, how can this wonderful, microscopic world give rise to our world? I will share a fascinating idea about the quantum decoherence, which could explain why both worlds are so different and what bridges them together.
