Over the past decade, a new field of high research intensity has emerged, the field of Relativistic Quantum Information (RQI). RQI brings together information theory with the two pillars of modern physics: General relativity and quantum theory. The results in the field of RQI range from new insights into the laws of Nature (e.g. black hole physics and cosmology) all the way to concrete applications in quantum computing and quantum-secured communication. In particular, the study of relativistic effects in quantum information processing has recently become more important due to improvements both in theory and in technology: Experiments in quantum optics, superconducting circuits and Bose-Einstein condensates can now probe relativistic influences on quantum information. Protocols that distribute entanglement over hundreds of kilometers are now reaching regimes where relativistic effects are becoming important, and satellite experiments are being developed that will measure gravitational effects on quantum entanglement.

在过去的十年中，相对论量子信息（RQI）的领域出现了一个新的高研究强度领域。 RQI将信息理论与现代物理学的两个支柱结合在一起：一般相对论和量子理论。 RQI领域的结果范围从对自然定律（例如黑洞物理学和宇宙学）的新见解一直到量子计算和量子固定通信中的具体应用。特别是，由于理论和技术的改进，量子信息处理中的相对论效应的研究变得越来越重要：量子光学，超导电路和Bose-Einstein冷凝水的实验现在可以探测量子信息的相对论影响。分布数百公里的纠缠的协议现在已达到相对论效应变得重要的政权，并且正在开发卫星实验，以衡量对量子纠缠的重力影响。
