Description
The gravitation binary problem and the associated production of gravitational waves can be treated efficiently within the framework of quantum field theory. This allows to make use of a variety of tools ranging from double copy relations between gauge theory and gravity to methods from effective field theory and multi-loop integration. I will show recent progress in applying this approach to state-of-the art problems in classical perturbation theory and will highlight the fruitful interplay with other more traditional approaches to the binary problem.
