Title

Aspects of relativistic quantum information and holographic quantum information

Abstract

This seminar presents background material on relativistic quantum information (RQI) and holographic quantum information (HQI). RQI is the study of quantum information in relativistic and curved spacetime settings. HQI concerns quantum information quantities and their dual gravitational descriptions in holographic frameworks. We will also explore potential research directions in both RQI and HQI. For example, a key direction in RQI is to examine how spacetime curvature and observer motion affect the extraction of quantum resources. On the holographic side, an active area of research investigates how entanglement entropy and other quantum information quantities encode the geometry of spacetime.   Moreover, the connection between RQI and HQI remains an open and intriguing question. These approaches shed light on deep connections between quantum information and quantum gravity.
