Agenda, Topics and Abstracts

Q-Farm is hosting a workshop on Thermalization and Quantum Information, organized by Shreya Vardhan and Jinzhao Wang. The goal is to bring together researchers working on chaos and thermalization using tools from many-body physics and holography with those who have worked on related recent developments in quantum information and complexity theory. The talks and discussion sessions will aim to address the following broad themes from a variety of different perspectives: 

  • Entanglement dynamics and advances in entanglement theory
  • Microscopic mechanism for thermalization
  • Thermalization, complexity, and random ensembles
