Measurements of gravitational lensing in the Cosmic Microwave Background
(CMB) directly probe the projected distribution of dark matter out to
high redshifts. The CMB lensing maps thus encode a wealth of information
about neutrino and dark energy properties, and can also be used to
improve constraints on inflationary tensor fluctuations. After briefly
reviewing what we have learned from past work on CMB temperature lensing
(e.g., with ACT and Planck), I will discuss new, exploratory CMB
polarization lensing measurements with the POLARBEAR and ACT Pol
experiments. Finally, I will explain the great scientific returns we can
expect from similar CMB polarization lensing surveys in just the next
few years.
