Foundations

The Växjö-26 conference on quantum foundations will take place in 2026, June 9-12 (arrival June 8 and departure June 13). The Växjö annual conference is the longest-running series on quantum foundations. It will feature invited talks (30 min, including questions) and contributed talks (20 min, including questions).

The International Centre for Theory of Quantum Technologies (ICTQT) at the University of Gdańsk (UG) is announcing the 22nd European Conference on Foundations of Physics. This is a continuation of the series of conferences in 1992. For more information about previous editions, please visit https://philosophyofphysics.org/meetings/. The special accent of the 22nd Conference will be Quantum Theory, to celebrate its 100th birthday.

Quantum mechanics has been a constant source of innovation for over a century, and is now opening the door to a new age of information technologies. Identifying the key quantum structures and developing new concepts and methods can accelerate the progress, facilitating the development of new information-processing protocols and the discovery of new connections with other areas of physics. This workshop brings together researchers working in quantum information science and in the foundations of quantum mechanics, with the aim of promoting cross-disciplinary interactions.

The Hong Kong Workshop on Quantum Information and Foundations is a conference in the field of Quantum Information Theory with the goal of exploring the power of quantum systems in new scenarios, e.g. in non-causal frameworks. Furthermore, a broad spectrum of topics in Quantum Information Theory, from algorithms to complexity, cryptography and Shannon theory is in the focus of the Workshop. The conference will take place from May 4th-7th 2016 and about 30 renowned speakers will present their recent research.
