Abstract
Kenneth Wharton of San Jose State University discusses local weak values in quantum circuits and whether they support a covariant description of individual qubits. The talk considers entanglement, constraints across an entire circuit and the relationship between quantum systems and classical spacetime. The confirmed Quantum Foundations seminar takes place on 10 September 2026, from 11:00 to 12:30 Toronto time in Perimeter Institute's Bob Room.
