Quantum foundations is an umbrella term for a number of distinct, yet intertwined, research areas that explore how nature works on a fundamentally quantum mechanical level. By combining ideas from seemingly unrelated fields such as theory, computation, experiment, and foundations, researchers have been able to gain deeper insights into the dynamics of quantum systems at the most basic levels. From elucidating the foundations of quantum field theory to discovering the fundamentals of information theory, quantum foundations provides an invaluable platform for exploring the next generation of quantum technologies.
