The
Inter-University Center for Philosophy and Foundations
of Physics (CIRFIS), the Department of Pure and Applied
Sciences of the University of Urbino Carlo Bo and the
Italian Society for Logic and Philosophy of Science
(SILFS) are glad to present:
XXIII
International Summer School in Philosophy of Physics
PHILOSOPHY OF QUANTUM COMPUTATION
15-18 June 2020, University
of Urbino, Italy
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic,
it will be impossible to host the XXIII
International Summer School in Philosophy of Physics
in Urbino. For this reason, we have decided to move
the school online and make it free of charge. We
know that Summer Schools are occasions to spend time
together with other students and researchers, and it
is difficult to create the same environment at a
distance. Nevertheless, we want to offer to the
international community an occasion of "meeting"
online and discussing thrilling foundational issues,
despite these dire times. We will try our best to
create an enjoyable and instructive experience for
all participants.
The topic of the school is the
“Philosophy of Quantum Computation”, and it will
feature lectures by Roberto Giuntini (University of
Cagliari & Centro Linceo Interdisciplinare
"Beniamino Segre"), Maria Luisa Dalla Chiara
(University of Florence), Michael Cuffaro (Munich
Center for Mathematical Philosophy), Giuseppe
Sergioli (University of Cagliari); and seminars by
Rossella Lupacchini (University of Bologna), and
Gustavo Martin Bosyk (University of Cagliari).
The deadline for applications is the
24th of May, 2020.
The School is free of charge and everybody is
welcome to attend. Nonetheless, an application is
required in order to participate. Moreover, we have
reserved three slots in the program of the Summer
School for young scholars interested in presenting
their research. We strongly encourage submissions
from women and other underrepresented groups in
Philosophy of Science.
