The Tricontinental Quantum Fundamentals Seminar (3C-QFS) is an online seminar series connecting researchers from Australia, Europe, and America. Our goal is to facilitate discussion between the three continents and bring together those working on foundational topics in relativistic quantum physics, covering but not limited to:

Measurement, localisation, and causality in relativistic quantum theory
Energy conditions and quantum inequalities
Non-locality and observer-dependence of entanglement
Quantum reference frames and symmetries in quantum theory
Holography, AdS/CFT, and analogue gravity

For 3C-QFS, we wish to foster an inclusive community and promote open discussion by encouraging a casual atmosphere during the seminars.

The seminars are held online via Zoom, consisting of 40-60 minute talks followed by additional time for questions. We meet every three weeks on Tuesday, alternating between two times in order to connect research communities across two of the three continents.

For those unable to join the seminars live, talks are recorded and hosted on the 3C-QFS YouTube channel.
