Harvard Yard

Workshop on
Subfactor Theory,
Quantum Field Theory,
and Quantum Information

October 8-10, 2016
Harvard University
Cambridge, MA

This workshop will highlight recent progress within these subjects, as well as new discoveries that relate them. Our aim is to encourage discussion among experts in different fields, as well as to highlight some fundamental open problems. The participants span a wide range of expertise, so we expect speakers to make an effort to communicate to a broad audience. We hope to connect familiar coworkers with potential new collaborators. We are happy to have students attend.
