Dear colleagues,
You are cordially invited to the online seminar of the Group for
Gravitation, Particles and Fields, which will be held on Friday, 20 May
2022 at 11:15 via the BigBlueButton platform (link is given below).
The talk entitled
A review of a few results at the interplay between quantum gravity and
quantum information theory
will be given by Marko Vojinovic (Institute of Physics Belgrade).
Abstract: I will give a review of two (if time permits maybe three)
results obtained in collaboration with Nikola Paunkovic, on research at
the intersection between quantum gravity (QG) and quantum information
theory (QI). The first result deals with the possible space of states in
an abstract QG formalism, and the restrictions imposed by gauge
symmetry, specifically diffeomorphisms. It turns out that these
restrictions generically rule out gravity-matter product states as
gauge-noninvariant. The second result deals with the motion of a
point-particle in QG, in particular in a background gravitational field
constructed as a quantum superposition of two distinct spacetime
geometries. The resulting trajectory of the particle fails to be
described by a geodesic equation with respect to either geometry, giving
rise to a correction term due to quantum interference between two
geometries. We will discuss the consequences of this for the weak
equivalence principle. Finally, we may briefly mention a few other
recent results trending in the QI community, such as the quantum switch
protocol, del Santo-Dakic protocol, and their relationship to QG.
