Quantum information measures and constraints in holography

The holographic principle suggests that spacetime and gravity result
from the collective behaviour of a large number of non-gravitational
degrees of freedom. The AdS/CFT correspondence provides a realization
of this principle, and posits that complete theories of gravity in
anti de Sitter (AdS) spacetime should be fully captured by a special
class of conformal field theories (CFTs).
Quantum information theory provides a promising language for
understanding this deep connection. The study of entanglement measures
and constraints within the holographic framework has led to propose
that the emergence of spacetime may be understood in terms of
underlying quantum correlations.

My Fellini project explores these ideas at the interface of gravity,
conformal field theory and quantum information. I will discuss various
directions I have been exploring within my fellowship and illustrate
recent and ongoing work on: quantum circuit complexity, fundamental
quantum constraints, and the recently formulated “entanglement island”
proposal for evaluating entanglement entropy in gravitational systems.
