Introduction to Quantum Information Aspects of AdS/CFT - Lecture 1
Offered By: International Centre for Theoretical Sciences via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fundamental concepts of quantum information in the context of AdS/CFT correspondence in this comprehensive lecture by Matthew Headrick. Delve into the paradigm shift in quantum gravity theory, where spacetime and gravity are viewed as emergent descriptions of quantum information dynamics. Examine the confluence between general relativity and quantum information theory, and discover how this intersection has led to groundbreaking progress in solving long-standing problems in quantum gravity, such as the black hole information paradox. Learn about the application of quantum information tools like quantum error correction in addressing complex issues in quantum gravity. Investigate the impact of black hole physics on understanding information scrambling in chaotic quantum systems. Gain insights into how quantum information theory provides a new perspective on quantum field theories and many-body dynamics, including novel proofs of constraints on QFTs and the characterization of quantum matter phases through entanglement structure. This lecture is part of a broader program that brings together experts in quantum gravity, quantum information theory, and many-body physics to foster progress in this multidisciplinary field.
