Jaynes Centennial Symposium
Join us for a symposium to celebrate the accomplishments of Edwin T. Jaynes, a distinguished physics professor whose work helped to shape the future of quantum science. During his time at WashU. Jaynes also conducted groundbreaking research on information theory and statistical mechanics – used today in image processing, neuroscience, and AI.
Presented by the Center for Quantum Leaps, the Center for Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience, and the Department of Physics at Washington University in St. Louis, the symposium will invite a highly interdisciplinary mix of participants spanning neuroscience, AI, engineering, physics, and chemistry.
In uniting some of our field's biggest names for collaborative discussion, we aim to push science toward its next great leap forward.
