Lecture by Renato Renner, March 8, 2012

Dear students, dear colleagues Please join for the following lecture. With best regards, Gianni Blatter --------------------------------------------------- Date: March 8, 2012 Place: HIT H 42 Time: 17:15 Why physicists should care about information theory Renato Renner Institute for Theoretical Physics, ETH Zurich According to a quote by the physicist Rolf Landauer, "information is physical". By this, he meant that information could not exist without a physical information carrier (such as the ink on a piece of paper). Information may therefore be studied from a "physical perspective". The development of Quantum Information Theory, which accounts for the fact that any physical information carrier ultimately obeys the laws of quantum mechanics, is one of the consequences of this approach. Very recently, however, researchers have started to take a converse approach, studying physics from an "information-theoretic perspective". This leads to interesting novel insights, a selection of which I will present in this talk. --------------------------------------------------- ETH Zurich Dr. Ilona Blatter NCCR QSIT Coordinator Laboratory for Solid State Physics HPF E 17 Schafmattstrasse 16 8093 Zurich ilona.blatter(a)phys.ethz.ch www.nccr-qsit.ethz.ch Phone: +41 44 633 36 06 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ETH Zurich Dr. Ilona Blatter NCCR QSIT Coordinator Laboratory for Solid State Physics HPF E 17 Schafmattstrasse 16 8093 Zurich ilona.blatter(a)phys.ethz.ch www.nccr-qsit.ethz.ch Phone: +41 44 633 36 06
