Conference Website: http://www.mis.mpg.de/qft2018 Poster: https://jkleiner.de/Quantum-Theory-in-View-of-Gravity.pdf With best regards on behalf of all organizers, Johannes Kleiner <https://jkleiner.de/Quantum-Theory-in-View-of-Gravity.pdf> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Progress and Visions in Quantum Theory in View of Gravity Bridging foundations of physics and mathematics October 01 - 05, 2018 Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences, Leipzig, Germany The conference focuses on a critical discussion of the status and prospects of current approaches in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, in particular concerning gravity. In contrast to typical conferences, instead of reporting on the most recent technical results, participants are invited to discuss - visions and new ideas in foundational physics, in particular concerning foundations of quantum field theory - which physical principles of quantum (field) theory can be considered fundamental in view of gravity - new experimental perspectives in the interplay of gravity and quantum theory.
