Seminar Series

Perimeter Institute organizes a lively program of seminars, regularly exposing researchers to current ideas in the wider theoretical physics community. In addition, many of the colloquium talks provide content outside of, but related to, core disciplines.

Scientists at surrounding universities and institutions are welcome to attend Perimeter’s Seminars and Colloquia.

Below are details and listings for each of Perimeter Institute Seminar and Colloquium Series.

PERIMETER INSTITUTE QUANTUM DISCUSSIONS

Chairs: Markus Mueller, Oliver Buerschaper

This series consists of weekly discussion sessions on Quantum Foundations and Quantum Information. The sessions start with an informal exposition of an interesting topic, research result or important question in the field. Everyone is strongly encouraged to participate with questions and comments.

Talks occur on Monday at 4:00 pm

INTERNATIONAL LOOP QUANTUM GRAVITY

Chair: Eugenio Bianchi

The International Loop Quantum Gravity Seminar series is held every 2 weeks via teleconference among the main international research groups in loop quantum gravity. Slides are distributed in advance of the discussion and audio is posted after the seminar on the ILQG website.

Talks occur on Tuesday at 10:00 am
