The Quantum Physicist as Causal Detective: Quantum Foundations and Causal Inference

In their live webcast on October 7, 2020, Perimeter researchers Robert Spekkens and Elie Wolfe shed light on the exciting possibilities brought about by applying quantum thinking to the science of cause and effect. They have done pioneering work studying relations the data science known as causal inference through a quantum foundational lens and can be counted among a small number of physicists worldwide with expertise in this field.
