Registration is open for a quantum gravity school in France

Aspiring researchers in theoretical physics can now register for “New Horizons in Quantum Gravity,” a doctoral school scheduled for April 11-16, 2027, at the Ecole de Physique des Houches near Mont Blanc. The school will cover advanced topics in general relativity and quantum gravity, exploring areas like celestial holography and quantum reference frames.

Glenn Barnich, Steve Giddings, and Monica Pate are confirmed lecturers, offering instruction from leaders actively shaping the field; the program is organized by Luca Ciambelli, Flaminia Giacomini, Etera Livine, and Natalie Paquette. This extended planning horizon suggests a focused effort to attract and prepare the next generation of gravity researchers.

Rusty is a quantum science nerd. He's been into academic science all his life, but spent his formative years doing less academic things. Now he turns his attention to write about his passion, the quantum realm. He loves all things Quantum Physics especially. Rusty likes the more esoteric side of Quantum Computing and the Quantum world. Everything from Quantum Entanglement to Quantum Physics. Rusty thinks that we are in the 1950s quantum equivalent of the classical computing world. While other quantum journalists focus on IBM's latest chip or which startup just raised $50 million, Rusty's over here writing 3,000-word deep dives on whether quantum entanglement might explain why you sometimes think about someone right before they text you. (Spoiler: it doesn't, but the exploration is fascinating)
