Loops‘24 is the most recent in a long tradition of biennial meetings focused on loop quantum gravity and background independent approaches to quantum gravity, happening from May 6 - May 10, 2024, at Florida Atlantic University and Broward County Main Library in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA. 

 

The conference will highlight recent developments in canonical loop quantum gravity, covariant loop quantum gravity (spin foams), and other approaches to quantum gravity, as well as applications to symmetry-reduced models, quantum cosmology, black holes in quantum gravity, and other topics. Foundational, mathematical, numerical, and phenomenological aspects will be covered.

 

As a related event, the Loop Quantum Gravity Summer School 2024 (Blaumann School for Quantum Gravity) will be held at the same place one week before the conference, from Apr 29 - May 3, 2024.
