Looking at Extremal Black Holes From Very Far Away

Explore the fascinating world of extremal black holes in this 43-minute lecture by Mukund Rangamani from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the complex interplay between quantum information, quantum field theory, and gravity as part of a comprehensive program on these cutting-edge topics. Discover how the AdS/CFT correspondence has revolutionized our understanding of quantum gravity, viewing spacetime and gravity as emergent phenomena from quantum information dynamics. Learn about the application of quantum information theory tools to solve long-standing problems in quantum gravity, such as the black hole information paradox. Examine the impact of black hole physics on understanding information scrambling in chaotic quantum systems. Investigate how quantum information theory provides new insights into quantum field theories and many-body dynamics, including novel proofs of constraints on QFTs and characterizations of quantum matter phases. Gain valuable knowledge about quantum error correction, the emergence of spacetime, complexity growth in gravity, multiparty entanglement in holography, gravitational constraints on quantum information localization, and tensor network models in condensed matter and quantum gravity.
