RIKEN Theory Symposium

This symposium will bring together leading theorists from the fields of artificial intelligence, quantum information, quantum field theory, quantum gravity, and related areas of mathematics. It aims to stimulate interactions and collaborations across these diverse fields by fostering cross-disciplinary dialogue. It is organized by RIKEN's Pioneering Research Institute (PRI) together with the Center for Interdisciplinary Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences (iTHEMS), and the Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP).
