Abstract

Quantum information theory is the study of the how features of quantum mechanics can be used to do useful `information processing' tasks - things like run a computation, communicate, or hide information. While this theory was developed for these practical goals, it also finds many applications in theoretical physics. I'll introduce quantum information theory and discuss how it comes into the study of fundamental physics.
