"Inflationary Gravitational Waves: Recent Advances and Next Steps" (Rosenblum Lecture):
The recent detection of the cosmic microwave background signature of inflationary gravitational waves is simply stunning. I will discuss how the measurement is done, the recent detection, and its interpretation. I will then review next steps to be taken with future CMB experiments and with galaxy surveys.
