Scope
Over the past years, ideas from quantum information theory have become increasingly influential in other areas of theoretical science such as statistical- and high energy physics. While there are a number of approaches, it has emerged on several forefronts of research – including holography, topological phases and symmetries, quantum error correction, or semi-classical approaches to gravity – that ideas from operator algebras can be highly relevant, even to the extent of describing equivalent mathematical problems in some cases. However, while there has been impressive progress in operator algebras over the years and connections to special areas of mathematical physics such as algebraic quantum field theory or operator algebraic approaches to statistical mechanics have been known to some experts for many decades, this knowledge has by and large not spread into the bulk of theoretical physics. In the opposite direction, revolutionary ideas linking quantum information, high energy, statistical physics, and gravity are suggesting novel ways to think about operator algebras. While this exchange of ideas has been featured up to a point in various conferences, there has been no workshop aimed specifically at the connections between the subject of operator and some of these emerging revolutionary ideas in those fields of theoretical physics. This topical workshop is dedicated to these connections.
