DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Simon Caron-Huot (McGill University)\n\nTheory Canad
 a 18 is the eighteenth in a series of annual conferences organized by the 
 Division of Theoretical Physics (DTP) of the Canadian Association of Physi
 cists (CAP) as a satellite of the CAP Congress. \nThéorie Canada 18 est 
 la 18ème conférence de cette série organisée par la Division de Physiq
 ue Théorique de l'Association Canadienne des Physiciens et Physiciennes c

 s to bring together Canada’s broad range of theorists working in various
  areas.  The intent is to foster new interdisciplinary collaborations and
  to provide students with information about the latest developments\, thro
 ugh research-level but accessible presentations.\nThe research areas cover
 ed by Theory Canada 18 will be: Mathematical Physics\; Quantum Information
 \; Relativity\, Gravitation and Cosmology\; Strings and Quantum Gravity\; 
 Particles and Fields\; Nuclear Physics\; Condensed Matter Theory.\nUpon re
 gistration\, participants will receive a link allowing them to book a room
  at Zum Hotel at a frozen rate.\nFree transportation will be arranged from
  Montreal to Ottawa where the CAP meeting will take place\, on the afterno
 on of on the afternoon of Sunday June 21.  You can still reserve a seat h

 a map of the MIL campus.  The Acadie and Outrement metro stations are sho
 wn\, and the three nearest Bixi stations for those who would like to rent 
 a bike.  The Complexe des sciences is at 1375\, ave Thérèse-Lavoie-Roux
 . \nThe conference will be in the A building (the smaller cube on your le
 ft when arriving from Outremont). \n\nGeneral Information. Taxi from P.E.
  Trudeau airport costs around $45-60 and is the easiest means (or Uber etc
  which may be cheaper) to reach your hotel. The 747 bus (11.25) leaves eve
 ry half hour from the airport and takes you to the Lionel-Groulx metro sta
 tion\, which has good connections to most hotels\; you should buy your tic
 ket before exiting the airport.\nYou can purchase a 3-day metro ticket for
  $21.75 at any metro station\, which includes the 747 bus and all other bu
 s lines. A convenient app for planning your route in real time is Transit.
 \nYou can also rent a public BIXI bike for individual trips or for a $24 m
 onthly pass. Montreal has a good system of bike lanes.  If you plan to bi
 ke\, be aware that wearing a helmet is legally required when using an elec
 tric bike (including the electric Bixis) and is highly recommended for any
  type of bike.  You are encouraged to bring one with you in that case. \
