Heller (Max Plan ck Institute for Gravitational Physics) as part of Theoretical Physics Sem inars (Kentucky)\n\n\nAbstract\nViewing fundamental physics processes thro ugh the lenses of quantum information storage and processing is a new fron tier in gravity and quantum field theory. Much of what we have learnt in t he past decade builds on the notion of entanglement and its entropy. The l atter quantifies how hard it is to store a quantum-many body state of inte rest on a classical computer. Complexity is a new player in the high-energ y physics context and quantifies how hard it is to prepare a quantum-many body state using limited resources. Learning from the success story of ent anglement entropy\, establishing universal results on complexity in two-di mensional conformal field theories should open many new research direction s\, including finding a precise gravity dual. I will discuss recent progre ss on this problem reported in 2005.02415 and 2007.11555 with Flory.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/UKYhepth/13/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
