Quantum Gravity Conference

Quantum gravity aims to find a description of spacetime and gravity that obeys the rules of quantum mechanics. Advancing this quest requires unraveling some long-standing puzzles, most notably the black hole information paradox. Recent investigations of this question have uncovered deep connections between quantum systems that exhibit maximal chaos and spacetimes with event horizons such as black holes and our expanding universe. In this talk, I review the history of these ideas and describe some recent progress. 

Speakers include:

Jonathan Oppenheim, Kathryn Zurek, Erik Verlinde, Ana-Maria Raclariu, Dionysios Anninos, Johanna Erdmenger, Daniel Carney, Julia Sonner, Sean Hartnoll, Daniele Oriti, Ben Elder, Thomas Mertens, Joan Simon, Andrew Rolph, Mario Flory, Tarek Anous, Beatrix Muehlmann, and Damian Galante.
