The Laboratory for Quantum Theory at the Extremes (LQuTE) at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) is a newly formed think-tank for theoretical physicists, mathematicians and philosophers to come together and address problems of common interest related to extreme physics (the very small, large, fast, cold, hot, dense, etc). Specific areas covered include high energy physics, nuclear physics, foundations of quantum mechanics/quantum field theory, quantum logic, astrophysics/cosmology, quantum gravity, philosophy of physics, mathematical physics, and post-quantum studies.
