One of the most important questions in the
foundations of physics, especially since the discovery of quantum theory,
is the nature and role of time. We would like to bring together researchers from different areas (
foundations, thermodynamics, causality theory, relativity and quantum
information theory in general) to discuss the role time plays in physics.
Our plan is to have few talks per day and a lot of time for discussions and
exchange of ideas. We would like to touch topics like: foundational
questions on time, quantum clocks and their synchronisation, the problem of
time in quantum gravity, time and clocks in thermodynamics, uncertainty
relations, causal structures, the arrow of time ...
Thank you all for participating! The videos of the talks can be found here.
