QUANTUM GRAVITY and All of That

Home   Program   Past seminars   Registration Participants Jobs opportunities

"Quantum Gravity and All of That" seminar series is aimed at bringing together experts, postdocs and students working on the following topics:

  • Quantum gravity and strings, including the early Universe scenarios
  • Quantum gravity and black holes
  • Information paradox
  • Holography and AdS/CFT, including holography and complexity, holography and neutron star physics
  • Quantum information, including the information theory
  • and related subjects, including gravitational waves from compact objects and phase transitions.

The seminars are expected to have about 1 hour for the main talk and 30+ minutes for discussions. We pay a special account for open discussions and exchange of opinions as the main driving force in our research community. The principal schedule is one seminar per two weeks on Thursdays at 17:00 CEST time. This may be occasionally adjusted to account special time requests of speakers.

The seminars and afterwards discussions will be zoom-based. You have to register following the Registration link above to be included in the mailing list. Talk proposals and other inquires can be submitted through the seminar e-mail (see below).

As a rule of thumb in most cases we would have a 1 hour talk followed by a 30+ minutes of the discussion session.

Moreover, given speaker permissions, talks will be recorded and uploaded to the YouTube Channel.

 

Recorded talks can be found on our YouTube Channel.

 

The registration is open to anyone interested in attending the talks and participating in the discussion sessions.
The registration is required to better maintain the seminars.
