Description

I will talk about the path from quantum scattering amplitudes to observables for gravitational radiation from binary inspirals. We can extract classical physics from quantum scattering, which we obtain by using the double copy property to get gravitational amplitudes from gauge theory. There are challenges on every level, including removing unwanted states from the double copy, and we extend these methods to loop amplitudes.
