*Foundations of Quantum Mechanics and Relativistic Spacetime*


Annual workshop of Working Group 3 “Quantum Theory Meets Relativity”
In the framework of the COST Action MP1006
“Fundamental Problems in Quantum Physics”
*University of Athens, Greece, 25-26 September 2012*

Keynote Speakers:
Daniel Bedingham, Lajos Diosi, Beatrix Hiesmayr, Rafael Sorkin, Ward
Struyve

Scope: to examine the foundations of quantum theory with an eye on the
complications
and issues that arise in relation with relativity and relativistic
spacetime.

Topics: relativistic formulations of observer free interpretations of
quantum theory;
non-locality; time in quantum theory and quantum gravity; histories
formulations; other foundational questions of quantum theory stemming from
relativistic considerations.

=============================================================
Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We write to inform you of the forthcoming Workshop "*Foundations of Quantum
Mechanics and Relativistic Spacetime*", to be held in *Athens* (Greece), on
the
*25th and 26th of September 2012*. The workshop is organised in the
framework
of the European COST Action MP1006 "Fundamental Problems in Quantum Physics"
(http://www.equantum.eu). It constitutes the annual meeting of the action's
3rd
Working Group "Quantum Theory meets Relativity". The previous year's meeting
was held in London (
http://plato.tp.ph.ic.ac.uk/conferences/cost2011/Welcome.html).

We are glad to invite you to participate in this workshop. Submission of
contributions
is open *until Monday, August 6, 2012*. Please follow the registration at
