Solstice of Foundations
Summer school on Quantum Foundations, 16-20 June 2025 @ University of Zurich
https://foundations.squids.ch/
Solstice of Foundations is a summer school series on quantum foundations. This year’s edition will be jointly hosted by the University of Zurich and Squids, from the 16th to the 20th of June 2025. The school provides a solid introduction to current approaches and problems within foundational research, and is tailored for junior researchers entering the field, like masters and PhD students, as well as postdocs transitioning from adjacent fields.
The 2025 edition will focus on the importance of agents, relativity and correlations in quantum foundations. This includes quantum reference frames, modelling observers as explicit physical systems, the motility of the Heisenberg cut, multi-agent paradoxes, and the role of the observer and boundaries in novel approaches to relativity and quantum gravity.
