Quantum gravity from a quantum information theoretic perspective

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Quantum gravity is the problem of joining quantum theory to general relativity to make a theory of space and time. I study models of quantum spacetime, which I treat as analogous to problems in condensed matter physics in that the challenge is to understand how macroscopic behavior is emergent from a many body system. In my work I have shown these can be addressed by using methods initially developed to model quantum computers. I propose to use these new methods to investigate the theoretical and observational consequences of specific models of quantum spacetime.
