Review of Classical and Quantum Information Theory - Lecture 1

Dive into the first lecture of a comprehensive review on Classical and Quantum Information Theory, delivered by Jaikumar Radhakrishnan at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Explore fundamental concepts bridging quantum gravity, quantum information theory, and many-body physics as part of the "Quantum Information, Quantum Field Theory and Gravity" program. Gain insights into the AdS/CFT correspondence, the emergence of spacetime and gravity from quantum information dynamics, and the intersection of general relativity with quantum information theory. Discover how this multidisciplinary approach has led to breakthroughs in understanding black hole physics, information scrambling in chaotic quantum systems, and constraints on quantum field theories. Engage with topics such as quantum error correction, complexity growth, multiparty entanglement, and tensor network models in condensed matter and quantum gravity. Prepare for an intellectually stimulating journey through cutting-edge research at the forefront of theoretical physics and information science.
