ON THE INFORMATION CONTENT OF BLACK HOLES AND THERMALIZED STATES

The theory of quantum information has emerged as an indispensable tool in the study of many-body, high-energy, and gravitational physics, vastly over-delivering on its initial promises in quantum communications and computation. I will discuss recent progress in incorporating the theory of quantum distinguishability in many-body and gravitational physics. I will describe how the notion of distinguishability provides a natural language and unique perspective on the physics of black hole evaporation and thermalization of isolated quantum many-body systems.
