Physics professor Veronika Hubeny gave a presentation at the 28th Solvay Conference on Physics: The Physics of Quantum Information and participated in a panel discussion, a public event associated with the conference, moderated by Prof. David Gross alongside professors Edward Farhi, John Preskill, Michelle Simmons, and Peter Zoller. Prof. Hubany's work has recently been focusing on the fascinating connections to quantum information theory, in particular on the relation between entanglement structure and the emergence of dual spacetime.

The Solvay Conferences ("Conseils Solvay") are probably the most famous conferences in physics and chemistry. They are a key part of the history and development of science. They were responsible for initiating the first meeting between Einstein and Poincaré; they were highly instrumental in the understanding of the theory of quantum mechanics and later, of many other areas of modern physics and chemistry; and through the decades they have been associated with an astonishing number of Nobel Laureates.

One characteristic feature of the Solvay Conferences is the emphasis on discussions over presentations. Typically, Solvay Conferences are divided into half-day sessions. Each session begins with one or two reports reviewing the state-of-the-art of the subject (and distributed to the participants before the start of the Conference), followed by vivid discussions steered by the chair of the session.
