The Structures of Entanglement
Special Events| Speaker: | Christopher Herzog, Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics, Stony Brook |
| Location: | 432 Physics |
| Start time: | Thu, Feb 5 2015, 1:10PM |
Entanglement entropy plays a large role theoretical physics today — in quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics, quantum field theory, gravity, and even string theory. I will discuss some of the recent successful applications of entanglement ideas and also some of the challenges we still face. The second half of the talk will largely be devoted to recent progress in understanding thermal corrections to entanglement entropy.
