Reading group meeting - "Informational Foundations of QFT"

Thursday 25 Apr 2024, 11:00 → 12:30 Europe/Stockholm

Albano 3: 5230 - Xenon (12 seats) (Albano Building 3)

This is a reading group ahead of the Nordita "WINQ Program on Complex and Quantum Systems", whose fourth week focuses on "Informational Foundations on QFT". In the reading group we get together to study a selection of relevant works from some invited speakers of the workshop.

At this fifth meeting, we plan to study one of the following papers

• Casini, Horacio, and Marina Huerta. “Lectures on Entanglement in Quantum Field Theory.” arXiv, March 22, 2023. https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2201.13310.
• Fewster, Christopher J., and Kasia Rejzner. “Algebraic Quantum Field Theory -- an Introduction.” arXiv, November 18, 2019. https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.1904.04051.
• Papageorgiou, Maria, and Doreen Fraser. “Eliminating the ‘Impossible’: Recent Progress on Local Measurement Theory for Quantum Field Theory.” arXiv, December 15, 2023. https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2307.08524.
• Witten, Edward. “Notes on Some Entanglement Properties of Quantum Field Theory.” Reviews of Modern Physics 90, no. 4 (October 23, 2018): 045003. https://doi.org/10.1103/RevModPhys.90.045003.
   

The idea is that anyone who wants to participate can come unprepared, you only need to bring your own (digital) copies of the papers. At the meeting we will choose one paper (or maybe split in two groups), then use the first 45 minutes of the meeting to read in it, and use the following 45 minutes for discussion among us.

Feel free to get in touch if you have questions or suggestions. Also please let us know if you want to participate by sending an email to: robert.jonsson@su.se

We meet in person in Xenon, or also online as per the following details:
