Entanglement, Information and Complexity in Quantum Systems

Event description

Quantum information is a multidisciplinary research area attracting a lot of interest and achieving substantial progress across physics, mathematics and computer science. The goal of this three day workshop is to bring together leading scientists in these areas to discuss recent developments in scrambling dynamics and its relation to chaos, entanglement phase transitions, the relevance of pseudo-entanglement for quantum cryptography, the importance of magic to quantify quantum advantage and the relevance of all these ideas to formulate the emergence of spacetime in terms of entanglement and complexity.

This will be a 2 and a half day event. The first two days will each have 5 talks, with the last talk of each day being a hybrid talk given by remote speakers. The final half day will start with a plenary talk and will conclude with a final round table/discussion summarising the main ideas discussed during the meeting and collecting open questions and challenges for the near future.

Talks will be arranged between long coffee breaks and lunches allowing participants to have plenty of time for discussions and networking. One of our key goals is the exchange of ideas, concepts and methodologies between different research areas with the intent to foster collaborations and, if successful, perhaps start a new series of workshops on this topic.

Registration will open soon


All participants in HCTP activities are expected to show respect and courtesy to others throughout the duration of an event, including at social events. We draw the participants’ attention to the HCTP Code of Conduct
