Welcome to the 2021 Loop Quantum Gravity Summer School!
Welcome to the 2021 Loop Quantum Gravity Summer School!
This year the LQG summer school school is online. We shall not have the pleasure of gathering, getting to know new people directly, and learning from one-to-one conversations, but we will do the best to make this enjoyable and fruitful.

The school covers the basics of Loop Quantum Gravity and related topics and introductions to hot research topics. These include the basics of the spin network and spin foam formalisms, applications to the early universe and black holes, group field theory and random geometry formalisms, quantum information techniques for quantum gravity, numerical methods and possible lab experiments on quantum superposition of geometries.

The school aims to introduce this sparkling and vibrant research topics. It is meant for students and researchers with no a priori background in background independent quantum gravity.

We plan 44 hours of classes spread over 11 days of June (7-8-10-11, 14-15-17, 21-22-24-25), look at the schedule for more details. A discussion session is planned during the breaks.
