Emmy Noether Workshop: The Structure of Quantum Space Time
Understanding the small-scale structure of spacetime is one of the biggest challenges faced by modern theoretical physics. There are many different attempts to solve this problem and they reflect the...

Open EFT's and Gravity as a Medium
This event is meant to study the connections between quantum fields in curved spacetimes with horizons and the effective field theory methods as applied to open systems (Open EFTs). In...

Indefinite Causal Structure
There has been a surge of interest in indefinite causal structure, the idea that cause and effect can no longer be sharply distinguished. Motivated both by experimentation with quantum switches...

Turok elected to Royal Society of Canada
In recognition of his pioneering research in cosmology and his efforts to advance science both in Canada and worldwide, Perimeter Director Neil Turok has been elected to the Royal Society...
Elliptic Cohomology and Physics
Equivariant elliptic cohomology is a rapidly evolving field, with wideranging applications including in quantum field theory, geometric representation theory, integrable systems, singularity theory, combinatorial representation theory, homotopy theory, and group...

Observers in Quantum and Foil Theories
Foil theories sometimes called mathematically rigorous science fiction describe ways the world could have been were it not quantum mechanical. Our understanding of quantum theory has been deepened by contrasting...

Symmetry, Phases of Matter, and Resources in Quantum Computing
Our conference covers three related subjects: quantum fault-tolerance, magic states and resource theories, and quantum computational phases of matter. The linking elements between them are (a) on the phenomenological side...
