Constructing a theory of quantum gravity, and with it a notion of quantum spacetime is one of the biggest challenges faced by modern theoretical physics. This workshop will bring together researchers from a wide range of viewpoints and give them an opportunity to exchange ideas and gain new insights.
The Banff International Research Station (BIRS) will host a workshop to unite computer scientists, cryptographers, physicists, and mathematicians. This event aims to explore the latest developments in quantum cryptography and foster interdisciplinary connections. BIRS, a Canada-US-Mexico collaboration, promotes creative interaction and knowledge exchange across the Mathematical Sciences and related fields.
13th International Conference on Highly Frustrated Magnetism | May 25 - 30 |Toronto
The International Conference on Highly Frustrated Magnetism (HFM) convenes experts from the magnetic community worldwide. HFM emphasizes and discusses theoretical and experimental studies concerning magnetic frustration, addressing related topics and relevant issues within the field. The event is renowned for its engaging and inclusive environment, featuring a single-session format and highly interactive poster sessions. Poster sessions are designed to be dynamic and encourage direct interactions between presenters and attendees, promoting in-depth discussions.
The International Research Network CAFQA (Canada-France Quantum Alliance) brings together researchers from CNRS, French universities and Canadian universities. Its objective is to foster collaborations between French and Canadian researchers in different fields of quantum sciences and technologies. The workshop will cover the latest developments achieved in both countries in the fields of: Quantum Materials and Circuits; Quantum Computing and Simulation; Quantum Communications; Quantum Sensing and Metrology; Quantum Basic Science and Quantum Engineering; Interface between Mathematics and Quantum Science; Quantum Science and Technologies and Humanities and Social Sciences.
Quantum mechanics is a cornerstone of modern physics, despite having been developed merely a century ago. Known for its remarkable precision, quantum theory explains nearly every observed physical phenomenon while challenging our understanding of reality, locality, and the nature of the universe. Over the past fifty years, the unique properties of quantum systems—such as superposition, entanglement, and contextuality—have sparked a second quantum revolution (Quantum 2.0). This revolution has transformed information theory and fueled ambitious global initiatives to develop quantum technologies, unlocking new capabilities in sensing, communication, and computation. To mark this historic milestone, NexQT proudly presents a school and workshop focused on advancing quantum education and research.
What is time? Is it fundamental or emergent? This question lies at the foundation of contemporary physics and provides a key to unlocking some of its most challenging open problems, from quantum gravity to cosmology. The quest to understand time extends beyond the realm of physics, providing a privileged standpoint to address questions in diverse fields such as philosophy, mathematics, and computer science.
