Title:
Geometry and Quantum Information: New Conjectures and Theorems

Speaker:
Raphael Bousso

Abstract:
There is a growing web of conjectures that relate quantum information to the area of surfaces. A particularly powerful example is the Quantum Focussing Conjecture. This conjecture remains nontrivial as either G or hbar vanish. This has led to novel statements purely within quantum field theory, or in classical GR, which can be proven directly. I will describe a new Area Theorem in GR, the Quantum Null Energy Condition in QFT, and a bound on the vacuum subtracted entropy of a region in QFT, all of which have recently been formulated and proven.
