[1] Time’s Arrow of a Quantum Superposition of Thermodynamic Evolutions. By G. Rubino , G. Manzano, and C. Brukner Fundamental laws of physics are generally time-symmetric. The directionality of time is then often explained with the thermodynamic arrow of time: the entropy of an isolated system increases during a process, and it is constant only …

Quantum gravity might soon be tested in the lab, thanks to a new analysis from our nodes in the UK, France and Hong Kong. Drawing on advances in quantum information science, the researchers have found that if gravity is fundamentally quantum rather than classical it must generate a signature known as non-Gaussianity. To look for …

A New Scientist hosted lecture by Vlatko Vedral of the University of Oxford, where the audience has the opportunity to ask questions about quantum physics and the nature of reality. Further details here (EVENT HAD ENDED).
In this online event, Carlo Rovelli tells the extraordinary story of quantum physics and reveals its deep meaning: a world made of substances is replaced by a world made of relations, each particle responding to another in a never ending game of mirrors. Please see further details here (EVENT HAS ENDED).
