IBS POSTECH Campus Bldg. #301 Auditorium

This seminar will be a continuous series of talks on "Quantum Entanglement and related topics". Quantum entanglement is one of the most fundamental features of quantum mechanics. It is a physical phenomenon that performing a local measure may instantaneously affect the outcome of local measurements far away. The concept of entanglement occurs in various areas such as in quantum information theory, communication and quantum computing. A rich field of research concerns the understanding of the role of entanglement in many body systems. In that regard, the theory can be applied to the study of knots and links in 3 manifolds by the `replica trick'. In this seminar, we will aim at learning the basics of quantum entanglement theory, understanding their applications to related areas such as Chern-Simons theory, and black hole dynamics and searching for other possible mathematical applications.
