Zurich, 20-24 June 2022.
Solstice of Foundations 2022 was a summer school on quantum foundations hosted by ETH Zurich and Squid. It provided a solid introduction to current approaches and problems within foundational research, and is tailored for junior researchers entering the field, like masters and PhD students, as well as postdocs.
The school was a hybrid event: all lectures were streamed live on our YouTube channel and on the ETH streaming platform. The videos will stay up on YouTube on this playlist. A Discord server provided support for online and in-person attendees. Live lectures took place in room HCI J3, ETH Hönggerberg, Zurich.
