Quantum mechanics - the next 100 years

Over the past century, much of the foundational work in quantum mechanics has focused on resisting its revolutionary message, with efforts to restore classical notions of reality and test the theory against them. This journey culminated in the decisive loophole-free Bell experiments of 2015, which confirmed quantum mechanics and closed the door on classical alternatives. Looking ahead, it is time to embrace quantum mechanics fully and explore its profound implications for our understanding of space-time, reference frames, and causal order. This talk will outline how these ideas set the stage for the next century of discovery.
