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 />
