Quantum Horizons Alberta and the University of Lethbridge's Department of Physics & Astronomy present a talk by Dr. Lars Aalsma, Heising-Simons Fellow, Department of Physics | Beyond Center, Arizona State University, in SA 7202

Quantum Information Tools for Gravitational Mysteries: Gravity, Cosmology and Beyond

Abstract: Recent breakthroughs in quantum information theory have opened new avenues for understanding quantum gravity and quantum cosmology. In this talk, I will explore the key insights gained so far, the exciting discoveries on the horizon, and the broader implications for the future. I will specifically highlight how my research on quantum information cosmology has led to new insights into the nature of dark energy. Additionally, I will discuss an ongoing project focused on characterizing a proposed quantum gravity signal that will be constrained using future high-frequency gravitational wave interferometers. Finally, I will outline synergies between my work and the Quantum Horizons Alberta initiative, underscoring future collaborative opportunities.
