A quantum wave

First blue sky thinking workshop: The arrow of time

An online workshop that brought together scientists and philosophers from around the world working on foundational problems relating to the arrow of time in theoretical physics, philosophy and biology, to discuss current problems and open issues in the field.

Blue clock

Manifest time and the laws of physics

Theoretical quantum physicist, Professor Gerard Milburn, outlined in his talk an apparent conflict between time, as we experience it, "manifest time", and time as it appears in physical law.

A glowing teal glitter cloud on a dark empty background

Loschmidt echoes evidence of the emergence of irreversibility for quantum many-body dynamics in the thermodynamic limit

Professor Horacio Pastawski joined us to discuss many-body time reversal.

The key to quantum technologies: Being in two places at once

Relational clocks, decoherence, and the arrow of time

This workshop took place at the University of Bristol and was based around the theme 'quantum ontology and the arrow of time'.

An image of a black hole

The second law of thermodynamics: from black-hole singularities to conformal cyclic cosmology

World-leading scientist Professor Penrose spoke about his cosmological scheme, which is also relevant to the arrow of time.
