Spin Systems as Toy Models for Emergent Gravity Speaker(s): Fotini Markopoulou
Abstract: A number of recent proposals for a quantum theory of gravity are based on the idea that spacetime geometry and gravity are derivative concepts and only apply at an approximate level. Two fundamental challenges to any such approach are, at the conceptual level, the role of time in the emergent contex... read more

Creating Spacetime Speaker(s): Fotini Markopoulou
Abstract: Our understanding of the physical world at the most fundamental level is based on two theories: quantum theory and general relativity. They are impressively successful but only when each is considered on its own. In situations where both play a role, we are reduced to puzzles and absurdity. Hence th... read more
