    Abstract

    摘要

    I discuss the observables approach to deriving classical-physics results from quantum scattering amplitudes. I will discuss the motivation from gravitational-wave physics; the derivation of the approach; a few selected examples from classical electrodynamics; and the Arkani-Hamed--Huang--Huang formalism for computing on-shell scattering amplitudes for massive particles.
