معرفی
Lucien Hardy is a Research Professor at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, focusing on Quantum Foundations. He holds a PhD from Durham University (1992) under Euan J. Squires. His research spans operational approaches to Quantum Theory, Quantum Gravity, and General Relativity, emphasizing frameworks like the causaloid and duotensor formalisms. Hardy introduced concepts such as indefinite causal structure and the Quantum Equivalence Principle, aiming to unify quantum theory with gravity. He has also explored experimental tests involving human decision-making in Bell experiments. Key contributions include Hardy's theorem (1992) and axiomatic reconstructions of Quantum Theory (2001).
