Time in Quantum Theory 2023

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

TiQT 2023 was the third annual edition of Time in Quantum Theory, organised by the ToQS group. It was held in the scenic coastal town of Westport on Ireland’s rugged western shores. This webpage serves as a record of that event.

Aims and scope

The conference aimed 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?
