Workshop: Relativistic Locality (4 May 2019)
Idea & Motivation
The problem of whether quantum theory is compatible with the causal structure of the spacetime as this is understood by the theory of relativity is an old and central problem in contemporary physics and philosophy of physics. The talks of this mini-workshop address this issue from different perspectives, paying special attention to the diversity of the locality concepts that have been suggested to test whether quantum theory is relativistically local.
