Quantum Foundations<br />
The foundations of quantum theory concern the conceptual and mathematical underpinnings<br />
of quantum theory. Research at PI addresses issues such as how quantum theory should be<br />
interpreted, what the deeper principles which underlie the theory are, and how quantum<br />
theory might be modified. This often involves the search for, and analysis of, novel quantum<br />
effects which illustrate the peculiar properties of the theory. Research in the foundations of<br />
quantum theory naturally interfaces with research in quantum information and quantum<br />
gravity.<br />
