Levi-Civita Colloquium
 WEDNESDAY 8 JULY 2026) at 14:30pm
 AULA GRASSANO - Dipartimento di Fisica dell'Università di Roma "Tor Vergata"

delivered by  Massimo Porrati (New York University) on

"Geometrization of Information: lessons from holography and quantum gravity"

Abstract: This talk will give a bird's eye view of about 50 years of progress in quantum gravity by focusing on one of its most surprising features; namely, the correspondence it establishes  between subtle information-theoretical quantities in quantum field theory and not-so-subtle geometrical quantities. The Bekenstein-Hawking  formula and the holographic duality will play a central role in our story.
