Time in Quantum Theory 2023

4-7 September 2023 at the Castlecourt Hotel, Westport, Co. Mayo, Ireland

Aims and scope

TiQT 2023 is the third annual edition of Time in Quantum Theory, to be held in the scenic coastal town of Westport on Ireland’s rugged western shores. The conference aims to bring together disparate communities, providing a common platform to discuss questions including:

  • Fundamental limitations to time keeping: how accurate can physical clocks be? This includes, but is not limited to, models for clocks, quantum information theory, and thermodynamics.

  • Foundational aspects of time: what can philosophy and quantum foundations say about time? How does this reflect itself in theoretical models? How can the conception of time in quantum mechanics be reconciled with that of general relativity?

  • How can we understand time through quantum experiments?
