Foundations of quantum mechanics and their impact on contemporary society

Dates: 
Monday, December 11, 2017
Submission deadline: 
Friday, November 10, 2017
Registration deadline: 
Friday, November 10, 2017

Revolutionary quantum phenomena like superposition, wave-particle duality, uncertainty principle, entanglement and non-locality are today well-established, albeit continuing debates remain about the profound understanding of their manifestation. Further, these concepts have been enabling a quantum technological revolution. This Royal Society Scientific Discussion Meeting aims at gathering the most relevant recent advances on the foundations of quantum mechanics, highlighting their multidisciplinary impact on contemporary society.
