As part of the interdisciplinary conference “Quantum Mechanics, Physical and Metaphysical Issues” (May 5–7, 2025), jointly organized by the Faculty of Physics and the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Bucharest, the academic community is cordially invited to attend the plenary sessions and round tables, taking place on May 5 and 6, 2025, at the Faculty of Physics, University of Bucharest (Str. Atomiștilor, nr. 405, Magurele, Ilfov County).
The plenary sessions and round tables are opened to students, academics, researchers, pupils and teachers.
The final programme will be available here.
Registrations for in-person attendance are open here until May 3, 2025.
The total number of participants in the Aula of the Faculty of Physics is limited.
Quantum Mechanics, Physical and Metaphysical Issues is an interdisciplinary event, jointly organised by the Faculty of Physics and the Faculty of Philosophy, in order to celebrate the centenary of the rigorous foundations of quantum mechanics, by bringing together researchers to reflect on and explore the impacts of quantum mechanics on both science and society.
Panels for Philosophy include, but are not limited to:
common interpretations of quantum mechanics (Copenhagen interpretation, the many-worlds interpretation and Bohmian mechanics)
non-locality, contextuality and realism
the measurement problem
determinism and quantum mechanics – is quantum mechanics relevant to philosophical debates about free will?
the ontological categories of quantum states
Panels for Physics include, but are not limited to:
concepts and formal structure of quantum mechanics
consequences of quantum mechanics in atomic, nuclear, condensed matter, particle physics and cosmology
quantum information and communication
challenges in quantum mechanics teaching
