Quantum Information and Physics

What do ideas about quantum information and computation tell us about physics, and vice versa?

Quantum information science makes use of ideas about information and computation, such as entanglement, nonlocality, entropy, quantum error correction, and computational complexity. These ideas are inspired by, and give new insight into, a variety of quantum mechanical phenomena that occur in diverse areas of physics. This leads to a better understanding of exotic materials, fundamental physics, and quantum technologies for tasks such as sensing, measurement, computation and communication.

Examples of QuICS research in this area include work on many-body and condensed matter physics, quantum sensing and metrology, quantum simulation, quantum thermodynamics, nuclear physics, and quantum gravity.
