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.
