Computing Quantum Gravity Workshop

America/Toronto
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics

Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics

Description

A key task for many quantum gravity approaches is the development of effective numerical tools, in order to be able to extract physical predictions. This does apply in particular to approaches focusing on the Lorentzian path integral / Lorentzian spacetimes. The main aim of the workshop is to learn and develop methods to deal with Lorentzian signature. This will be a hands-on workshop, where projects will be pursued in small groups.
