Hello, 

 

The Clock and the Quantum: Time and Quantum Foundations
<http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/Events/The_Clock_and_the_Quantum/The_C
lock_and_the_Quantum%3A_Time_in_Quantum_Foundations/>  is being held at
Perimeter Institute, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada from September 28-Ocober
2, 2008.  Registration is now open and submissions for talks are also
being accepted. 

 

The PIAF collaboration (between PI and three Australian universities)
aims to promote Quantum Foundations as a subject to be studied and
researched in academia.  This, the first annual PIAF conference, will
focus on the many deep conceptual and technical issues concerning the
role of time in Quantum Theory. 

These include:

* Is unitary evolution fundamental?
* Quantum correlations in time
* Probability and time
* Histories approaches
* Is QT sufficiently radical with regard to time?
* Pre- and post-selected ensembles
* Philosophical issues of time
* The arrow of time
* The problem of time in Quantum Gravity
* Time and quantum measurement
* Does time exist between measurements?
* Causality in QT
