Quantum Information Theory Of Observers In Analogue And Emergent Gravity

Abstract

This research aims to develop a deeper understanding of quantum entanglement through the merger of quantum field theory and quantum information applied to the arena of gravity (observers under arbitrary states of motion). This merger of concepts from quantum field theory and gravity through the use of quantum information theoretic techniques is the new research capability that could potentially have payoff in lower energy settings, such as analogue gravitational models. As physicists, we know the laws of quantum mechanics break down when confronted with gravity. We are also beginning an expensive quest to use the laws of quantum mechanics to provide unprecedented security of communication and sensing. This project aims to use the interplay of QFT, gravity, and low-energy systems to test and challenge the quantum information tools that are being employed in the multitude of settings for QiS.
