Scope
The most fundamental laws of physics are written in the language of quantum field theory, which combines in a single framework quantum mechanics, classical field theory, and special relativity. The interplay between these fields leads to novel conceptual and technical challenges, but also opens a new window for a deeper understanding of fundamental properties of quantum matter in spacetime. Quantum information has proved a powerful tool to tackle some of these challenges and is playing an increasingly prominent role in the field.
The workshop aims to create a collaborative space for researchers working on several aspects of quantum field theory to interact. Main themes include
- measurement theory
- causality and channel capacity
- entanglement
- formal foundations
- localisation
- and other information-theoretical aspects in quantum field theory.
This workshop takes place in the fourth week 20th - 24th May 2024 of the WINQ program on Complex and Quantum Systems.

Schedule (tba)
We target to have one or two schedulled talks each morning, leaving time for spontaneous interactions and collaborations in the afternoon.
