Computational methods and numerical simulations play an increasingly important role in various approaches to quantum gravity. In recent years we have seen emerging evidence that Lorentzian quantum gravity approaches with quantum amplitudes have intriguing properties, e.g. destructive interference of undesirable configurations. However, these are also particularly challenging to tackle numerically. In this workshop, we want to see how and with which methods different approaches address these challenges. Moreover, we also want to explore which future questions and observables are interesting from different perspectives.
The focus of this workshop is not high performance computing, but rather how to use computers in quantum gravity, explaining the methods used and whether they might be transferable to other approaches.

We plan this workshop as a hybrid event, so participation will be possible remotely via Zoom.
Registration is open! We plan for up to 30 participants in person.
We in particular welcome participation of PhD students and postdocs, who can also apply to present a poster for this event.
