Title: Computational Entanglement

Abstract:

Entanglement theory, a topic studied in quantum information theory,  is very rich. The first part of the seminar will be devoted to presenting some important aspects of entanglement theory, e.g., ways of quantifying entanglement and related tasks such as entanglement distillation (relevant for future quantum networks and more). In the second part of the seminar I will then present a recent work in which we initiate the study of computational entanglement theory, where one is also interested in the computational complexity of the allowed quantum operations. I will present the new ways of quantifying entanglement in this setup, a new concept termed ``pseudo-entanglement'' and, time permitting, mention surprising potential applications in quantum gravity. (Or even better, perhaps together we can find applications in condensed matter physics!)

 

The second part of the talk is based on a joint work with Zvika Brakerski and Thomas Vidick-- arXiv:2310.02783.
