Topics
The goal of the school is to present the connections between quantum information and the structure of spacetime that have been the focus of much recent research.
How is quantum information shared between subsystems?
How is information manipulated by the dynamics?
How can quantum effects be included in black hole thermodynamics?
In a holographic theory, how is the bulk encoded in the boundary?
