PIRSA:C07021 - Quantum Foundations Summer School - 2007PODCAST Subscribe to podcast

Perimeter Institute hosted some 40 graduate students and 10 postdocs or junior faculty working in all areas of fundamental physics (including particle physics, string theory, cosmology, quantum gravity, quantum information, and other disciplines). Quantum foundations seeks to recognize, analyze, and resolve the conceptual tensions within various frameworks and theories in fundamental physics, where quantum theory is or might be applied, with the aim of developing or replacing existing physical theories.
