Chronicles from last week #QISS workshop in Lesvos, discussing the intersection of quantum gravity and quantum information. It was inspiring, witty and also relaxing! Thanks to the @templeton_fdn for supporting our intellectual journey 🙌
Discussions focused on table-top experiments of gravity-mediated entanglement, quantum reference frames, loop quantum gravity and quantum black hole. #QISS Lesvos Workshop @templeton_fdn
Philosophers brought to the discussion the question of how the notion of causality is used differently (Elise Crull) and of what we have learnt about diffeomorphisms with the Hole Argument (Jeremy Butterfield). #QISS Lesvos workshop @templeton_fdn
A lot of discussions on relationality: From relational quantum mechanics (@carlorovelli) to the categorical formulation of quantum mechanics (@coecke) and even to the Buddhist philosopher Nagajuna with Klaus-Dieter Mathes (@sakyaresearch) ☸️ #QISS Lesvos Workshop @templeton_fdn
The conference brought together scientists in quantum gravity and quantum information, and philosophers working on the conceptual aspect of spacetime and the quantum. We opted for an innovative format: no lengthy talks but 2-hour discussions for each different question! #QISS
Before discussing each question, the sessions were opened by a few lightening talks of 15’ max that were meant to introduce the question and ignite the following discussion. The format worked out with the discussions touching on the talks’ topic and getting wider and wider! #QISS
