Sophie went to Dublin’s Trinity College on monday (15-19th July) to attend and present at The Templeton foundation’s international conference “Emergence of Classicality: New Perspectives on Measurements in Quantum Theory” (EoC24) bringing together leading experts on topics in the foundation of quantum physics. Joining an esteemed program of speakers she followed Jaroslaw Korbicz to present “Equilibration of objective observables in a dynamical model of quantum measurements” (https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.18016).
The conference is devoted to quantum measurement, quantum paradoxes, the emergence of classicality and objectivity, quantum thermodynamics, equilibrium of closed systems and experiments. Alongside pontificating on foundational questions of QM they enjoyed some local culture and joined a Cèilidh….all together now… join hands, swing across in a star, face partners, set twice. Spin partners and dance a grand chain round…. 2, 3, 4… and from the top…
