UPDATE: Given the success of the 2021 conference, the saga continues with Time in Quantum Theory 2022<\/a><\/em> in Vienna this September!<\/strong><\/mark>\u00a0 <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The topic of time in quantum mechanics is having a renaissance, partly fueled by the development of new tools in other areas, such as quantum information theory. Time can be a rich and rewarding area of study, with questions spanning a wide spectrum. There are foundational issues to solve: what is time? <\/em>There are practical questions such as: how accurate as a function of appropriate parameters can clocks be? How can developments in clocks be useful to the wider quantum information theory community?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scope: the workshop Time in Quantum theory: from mathematical foundations to operational characterization<\/em> covers various fields from different communities who would not usually meet. The main two areas are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Fundamental limitations to time keeping: how accurate can clocks be as a function of appropriate physical parameters? This includes but is not limited to, theoretical models for clocks, metrology and quantum information theory, thermodynamics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) Foundational aspects of time: what can\/do philosophy and quantum foundations say about time? How does this reflect itself in theoretical models?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop will consist of invited talks by experts in various aspects of quantum resource theories as well as contributed talks, poster sessions, and extended discussion sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dates and format<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The workshop will be held in a hybrid online\/in-person<\/strong> format starting on Monday, 30th of August<\/strong> till Friday, 3rd September<\/strong>, 2021<\/strong>. See here<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those of you interested in foundations, the workshop will be held the week before the Vienna foundations conference<\/a>, which will take place online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
