It has been a pleasure to organise Causalworlds 2024 @Perimeter! The conference brought together experts in causality, ranging from causal structure in quantum computation and spacetime physics to causal inference for healthcare. Looking forward to the 2026 edition in Grenoble!

Today marks the end of the Causalworlds 2024 conference!

We look forward to seeing what collaborations emerge from this week’s conversations.

Excited to announce our conference Causalworlds 2024, to be held @Perimeter Institute, Canada, 16-20 Sept, spanning causal inference, indefinite causal order and causality in quantum and relativistic physics.
Submissions are now open until 24 May: https://t.co/9vBHHhZhLa

@markwilde Oh yes indeed, I will!

[Hlér Kristjánsson @Hljesi]

Very happy to share that I will be starting a position as Assistant Professor (tenure-track) and Group Leader @UMontreal and @Mila_Quebec at the end of the year! I would like thank all my supervisors, colleagues and friends who have supported me through this academic journey!

[Hlér Kristjánsson @Hljesi]

Excited to share the first paper from joint work during my postdoc at @UniOfTokyo! We present a universal algorithm for linear transformations of Hamiltonian dynamics, even when only given as a black box - an example of quantum functional programming https://t.co/A9WDunrmEm

[Hlér Kristjánsson @Hljesi]

Looking forward to giving an online talk today at the Causalworlds conference @ETHQuantumCntr on the possibility of realising indefinite causal order and its application in quantum computation.

[Hlér Kristjánsson @Hljesi]

Excited to announced our new arXiv preprint ‘Quantum gravity as a communication resource’ https://t.co/tA7X27PwPp We show how a black hole in a superposition of states leads to an interference of gravitational processes, counteracting the expected entanglement degradation nearby
