HECAP Seminar by John McGreevy - Entanglement Bootstrap and Conformal Field Theory
Hybrid
Leonardo Building - Euler Lecture Hall and via Zoom
Abstract
Entanglement Bootstrap is a research program to understand and extract the universal data of quantum many body states from local entanglement information. The program proceeds by identifying conditions satisfied by the reduced density matrix of a ball for a given class of fixed-point states. I'll describe our progress at using this philosophy to learn about the space of conformal field theories in 1+1 dimensions and above. The talk is based on work with Xiang Li, Ting-Chun (David) Lin, and Rolando Ramirez Camasca.
