The Black Hole Information Problem - Lecture 2

Delve into the intricacies of the black hole information paradox in this second lecture of a series delivered by Raghu Mahajan at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Explore the intersection of quantum information theory, quantum field theory, and gravity as part of a comprehensive program on these cutting-edge topics. Gain insights into the AdS/CFT correspondence and its implications for understanding spacetime and gravity as emergent phenomena. Examine how quantum information theory tools have advanced our understanding of long-standing problems in quantum gravity, including the black hole information paradox. Learn about the application of gravitational physics to information scrambling in chaotic quantum systems and the role of entanglement in characterizing phases of quantum matter. Engage with topics such as quantum error correction, complexity growth, multiparty entanglement in holography, and tensor network models in condensed matter and quantum gravity.
