About
Caslav Brukner is a Professor at the University of Vienna, affiliated with the Department of Quantum Optics, Quantum Nanophysics and Quantum Information. His research spans foundational aspects of quantum mechanics, quantum gravity, and the interplay between spacetime physics and quantum theory. He has taught courses such as Theoretical Physics III for teacher students and seminars on quantum foundations.
His recent work explores quantum superpositions of spacetime geometries, indefinite causal orders, thermodynamic observables in quantum gravity, and the role of observers in quantum measurements. Key themes include reconciling quantum mechanics with general relativity, analyzing temporal and causal structures, and studying quantum thermodynamics.
While no explicit scientific awards are listed, his research has produced numerous publications across quantum reference frames, entanglement, and relativistic quantum mechanics. His teaching emphasizes advanced topics in quantum theory, including foundational debates and practical applications.
