Causality in a Quantum World<\/p>\n
A conference organised by the University of Queensland<\/em><\/p>\n Novotel Twin Waters Resort, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia<\/p>\n August 16-21, 2015<\/p>\n http:\/\/causalinformation.weebly.com\/conference<\/a><\/p>\n About.<\/strong><\/p>\n There has been much recent interest in the suggestion that quantum mechanics might be better understood in terms of its causal structure. Novel formalism has provided a new perspective on the discrepancy between the causal structure of the classical and quantum worlds. This has significant implications for traditional approaches to the philosophy of causation; for example, that intelligent agents can come to know and control the quantum world in new ways that do not fit the standard formulations of control theory, computer science and artificial learning machines. This conference brings together both physicists and philosophers with an interest in exploring the consequences of this new approach to causality in a quantum world. The conference is part of the research project\u00a0The Causal Power of Information in a Quantum World<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n Speakers.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00c4min Baumeler, Cyril Branciard,\u00a0Hans Briegel,\u00a0Jeremy Butterfield,\u00a0Giulio Chiribella,\u00a0Fabio Costa,\u00a0Phil Dowe,\u00a0Peter Evans, Matt Farr,\u00a0Mathias Frisch, Christina Giarmatzi,\u00a0Ravi Gomatam, Mile Gu, Joe Henson, Gerard Milburn, David Miller, Mio Murao, Paul N\u00e4ger, Alyssa Ney, Ognyan Oreshkov, Inaki San Pedro,\u00a0Yohan Pelosse, Huw Price,\u00a0Tim Ralph, Nina Retzlaff, Katja Ried, Howard Wiseman, Magdalena Zych.<\/p>\n Call for Registration.<\/strong><\/p>\n Non-speaking participants are welcome to attend the conference for a fee of $100 (AUD).
