TEQ - Testing the Large scale Limit of Quantum Mechanics, is a EU H2020 FET project, which will explore the macroscopic limit of quantum theory, with the specific goal of answering the question: does quantum coherence survive when the mass/complexity of a system increases, or does it break down as predicted by alternative formulations? Assessing the boundaries of quantum theory is one of the most relevant problems in modern physics, with also a clear technological impact, as the scalability of future quantum technologies depends on the possibly unlimited validity of the quantum paradigm. Within the framework of TEQ, the workshop Redefining the foundations of physics in the quantum technology era will explore the state of the art – both theoretically and experimentally – of our understanding of quantum theory and discuss the new directions of research. Speakers will include leading senior experts in quantum mechanics as well as junior members of the TEQ consortium. Registration is mandatory and is open till 30 June 2019.
