Dirac Medallist Edward Witten, professor emeritus in the school of natural sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, is interviewed by ICTP Director Atish Dabholkar.

In this conversation they discuss the evolution of string theory over the years, as well as Witten’s contributions to the theory and his relationship with mathematics.

Edward Witten was awarded the Dirac Medal in 1985 – the year the award was launched – “for stimulating contributions to quantum field theory, particularly with regard to the implications of new kinds of anomalies”. He shared the award with Yakov Zeldovich (1914-1987).

The interview took place in June 2023, when Witten was at ICTP for the Huddle on Entanglement, Black Holes and Spacetime, during which he gave a public talk entitled “What every physicist should know about string theory”.
