A major conceptual achievement of Einstein’s theory of relativity is the understanding that space and time arise from a single physical entity, spacetime. Within spacetime, the distinction between space and time is operated by what one calls the causal structure. The objective of our research is to identify the fate of this causal structure at …
Eurekalert.org has posted an accessible to a wider public piece on a collaborative work between Jonathan Barrett, Quantum Group of Oxford, and Ognyan Oreshkov, Free University of Brussels. Read by following this link. The paper concerned is titled Cyclic Quantum Causal Models and is published at Nature Communications. Technical abstract of the paper: Causal reasoning is …
Markus Aspelmeyer, Director of the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, has joined QISS. The addition of Markus and his group will support the focus point of exploring experimental possibilities to probe the weak field/low energy aka “table-top” regime of gravitational quantum physics. For an interesting popularised take on recent experimental trends see the recent …

Further information will appear in the pages listed below. QISS@Western, June 6-11 2022 QISS@Lesbos, August 27-31 2022
Constructor theory is a relatively nascent idea in fundamental physics that proposes to underlie all other currently known theories, not to mention those yet to be known, and to solve problems across a host of fields in science and beyond. Logan Chipkin joins Oxford physicist and constructor theorist Chiara Marletto to discuss what constructor theory is, …
