The 2011 APS March meeting<\/a> deadline for submission of abstracts is today.\u00a0 Chris Fuchs writes with some stats about current submissions from the topical group on quantum information and in particular the number of quantum foundations talks (a list of foundation-ish talks is listed in the email):<\/p>\n

As I write to you, 3200 abstracts have already been submitted for the APS March Meeting, with 140 of those earmarked for the Topical Group on Quantum Information.\u00a0 Very importantly for quantum foundations, however, 34 of those abstracts<\/strong> (culled from all sessions) can be considered with good justification quantum foundations submissions<\/strong>!!\u00a0 In other words, at the moment, we\u2019ve got 1% of the whole meeting thinking about the foundations of physics!- <\/p>\n

Have a look at some of the titles and speakers below; there are going to be some very good talks at this meeting.\u00a0 It will be a grand opportunity for everyone in our community to mix and mingle and learn from each other.<\/p>\n

Please don\u2019t forget that the abstract submission deadline is tomorrow, November 19, at 5:00 PM EST.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

I really encourage everyone who wants to see quantum foundations thrive and be memorable to please submit a talk to this meeting.\u00a0 Encourage your colleagues and students too.\u00a0 Let\u2019s build a critical mass.\u00a0 Your voice will count.<\/p>\n

The place to go is:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.aps.org\/meetings\/abstract\/instructions.cfm<\/a><\/p>\n

You must have an APS membership before submitting ($128 regular, $64 for recently completed PhDs, and $0 for students first joining), but you can still submit an abstract even if you don\u2019t have your membership number yet–the instructions at the link explain how to do it.\u00a0 (It is not necessary, but please do spend the extra $8 to join the Topical Group on Quantum Information, the official home within the APS for quantum foundations research.)<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Chris Fuchs<\/p>\n
