Frontiers of Quantum Information Physics
Coordinators: Daniel Harlow, Patrick Hayden, Stephen Jordan, and Brian Swingle
Scientific Advisors: Veronika Hubeny and John Preskill
We have now reached capacity for this conference and are no longer accepting registrations.
In recent years, the concepts and methods of quantum information science have played an increasingly central role in other areas of physics, including condensed matter, high energy, and thermodynamics. Entanglement, entropy inequalities, tensor networks, quantum error correction, quantum computational complexity, and many other ideas from quantum information now frequently contribute to progress throughout theoretical physics. This conference will feature the latest developments in quantum information science, with a particular emphasis on the interplay with other areas of physics.
Among the interests of the conference, tensor networks are being used to compress exponentially complex quantum states and geometrize entanglement in quantum field theories and gravity. Approximately reversible quantum operations are illuminating the structure of topological phases of matter and the holographic principle. Computational complexity is offering new insights into the black hole information problem and the nature of black hole interiors. Even thermodynamics is being addressed, with entropy inequalities and the one-shot theory of quantum information providing new laws of thermodynamics for small quantum systems.
Frontiers of Quantum Information Physics hopes to forge new connections among the most recent emerging developments in physics and quantum information. We seek a diverse array of participants from the quantum information and physics communities.
PLEASE NOTE: During the conference there will be an opportunity to present a poster. If you are interested in presenting a poster please visit the conference website and submit your title and abstract. Each poster board is 4 feet high x 6 feet wide. We ask that the posters be no larger than 44 inches high x 34 inches wide at the most.
