September 15 2016: Two large projects on quantum causality have been funded!
The John Templeton Foundation project Quantum Causal Structures will bring together an international network exploring the frontiers of quantum causality in physics and computer science. Big thanks to Caslav Brukner for coordinating this project and congratulations to our team members at Perimeter Institute and at the Universities of Vienna, Oxford, Pavia, Brisbane, Waterloo, and Western Ontario!
The five-year project The Information-Theoretic Power of Quantum Causal Structures sponsored by the National Science Foundation of China will investigate power and limitation of new quantum communication models exploiting quantum causal structures. In addition, it will promote the research on quantum causality in China, through the organization of activities at the HKU-Shengzhen Institute for Research and Innovation (SIRI).
Many thanks to APS Fellow Mauro D'Ariano for joining and supporting this effort!
