Description
In order to honor Basil Hiley the presentation will commence with three general premises: 1. All is process, 2. We are part of nature and 3.Three world experiments are currently underway. I will explore how these premises may relate to Basil Hiley´s research and connect to quantum physics.
Then the focus will shift to a design principle for novel electronic materials which I term the “inverse Bauhaus-principle”: function follows form. Examples are quantum transport phenomena that depend on the local environment as given by geometry, or on global properties as given by topology.
Finally: How can we develop science further? In view of global challenges (third premise) it appears essential to facilitate a universal interdisciplinary dialogue. Physics experts may play a pioneering role in developing formats, methods and interfaces for universal interdisciplinary exchange as physics research is based on metrology and concepts involving processes at all scales.
