Quantum Machanics & Gravity: Marrying Theory & Experiment

by

The Society’s first event, QUANTUM MECHANICS & GRAVITY: MARRYING THEORY & EXPERIMENT, concluded successfully on August 19, 2022. The 5-day meeting consists of TED-style public lectures and debates, along with extended scientific sessions – bringing together many of the key themes in this field. This event also inaugurated the new QUANTUM GRAVITY INSTITUTE, supported by the Quantum Gravity Society, with its home base in Vancouver. The Institute will support international research work – both in theory and experiment.
