The Probabilistic World: A Fundamental Approach to Quantum Mechanics and Probabilistic Computing

Christof Wetterich has been a Professor of Theoretical Physics at Heidelberg University since 1992. Prior to that, he worked at DESY in Hamburg and CERN in Geneva. He has authored numerous papers on quantum mechanics and regularly delivers lectures on the subject. His research spans a broad range of areas within fundamental physics. In cosmology, he is best known for being the first to propose the concept of dynamical dark energy. He also derived a functional renormalization group equation, which is widely applied across many fields of physics, from superconductors to strong interactions in particle physics and quantum gravity. In particle physics, Prof. Wetterich proposed a mechanism to explain why neutrino masses are so small. He has published more than 300 papers, which are highly cited.
