Project description
A deeper understanding of Quantum mechanics
Recent advances in the field of quantum mechanics, as well as related fields like quantum computing, have led to significant breakthroughs in various sectors. For instance, quantum information (QI), which plays a key role in modern physics, can provide critical insights into the nature of reality, while also benefiting the growth and advancement of numerous other fields. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the QUBITTO project will use QI measures to research their connections with holographic duals, with the aim of advancing our understanding and characterisation of quantum systems such as conformal field theory and quantum field theory. It will implement a multidisciplinary approach that combines theoretical methodologies and techniques derived from various scientific fields.
Objective
"Quantum information (QI) plays a fundamental role in modern physics, offering profound insights into the nature of reality and driving transformative technological advancements. The research project ""QUBITTO: Holographic Quantum Information: Building Bridges Between Measures in Quantum Information Theory and Gravity"" aims to employ QI measures and explore their connections with holographic duals. By doing so, it seeks to describe and characterize quantum systems, such as quantum field theory (QFT) and conformal field theory (CFT), and to uncover universal relations within these theories. The objectives of QUBITTO are: i) Ascertain connections between energy functionals in mathematics and holographic entanglement entropy. ii) Breaking down QFTs with defects using QI measures. iii) Constrain the space of QFTs using QI. This multidisciplinary project integrates theoretical approaches from various fields to advance our knowledge of quantum entanglement, black hole thermodynamics, condensed matter physics, and the fundamental nature of the universe.
Our proposal QUBITTO represents an innovative approach made possible by the synergistic knowledge and expertise of three world-leading institutions in (holographic) QI measures and their application to QFTs and CFTs: the Institut de Ciències del Cosmos at the Universitat de Barcelona (coordinator institution), the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics at Kyoto University (associated institution), and the Instituto Balseiro at Centro Atómico Bariloche (secondment institution).
The successful completion of QUBITTO will enable me to acquire transformational knowledge in a wide range of holographic QI measures with applications in defect quantum systems, and it will constitute a major first step toward initiating my independent academic career. Concurrently, it will offer the scientific community valuable insights into current well-defined fundamental challenges and open the door to potential technological advancements."
