• Title: Quantum-information methods for quantum gravity laboratory-based tests
• Authors: Chiara Marletto, Vlatko Vedral,
• Abstract summary: We review the nascent field of information-theoretic methods applied to designing tests of quantum gravity in the laboratory. We shall focus mainly on the detection of gravitational entanglement between two quantum probes, comparing this method with single-probe schemes. We shall also highlight the role of general information-theoretic principles in illuminating the search for quantum effects in gravity.

• Abstract: Quantum theory and general relativity are about one century old. At present, they are considered the best available explanations of physical reality, and they have been so far corroborated by all experiments realised so far. Nonetheless, the quest to unify them is still ongoing, with several yet untested proposals for a theory of quantum gravity. Here we review the nascent field of information-theoretic methods applied to designing tests of quantum gravity in the laboratory. This field emerges from the fruitful extension of quantum information theory methodologies beyond the domain of applicability of quantum theory itself, to cover gravity. We shall focus mainly on the detection of gravitational entanglement between two quantum probes, comparing this method with single-probe schemes. We shall review the experimental proposal that has originated this field, as well as its variants, their applications, and discuss their potential implications for the quantum theory of gravity. We shall also highlight the role of general information-theoretic principles in illuminating the search for quantum effects in gravity.

  We explore the applicability of quantum-data learning to practical problems in high-energy physics. We make use of ansatz based on quantum convolutional neural networks and numerically show that it is capable of recognizing quantum phases of ground states. The observation of non-trivial learning properties demonstrated in these benchmarks will motivate further exploration of the quantum-data learning architecture in high-energy physics.

• Relativistic Particle Motion and Quantum Optics in a Weak Gravitational Field [0.0]
  Long-baseline quantum experiments in space make it necessary to better understand the time evolution of relativistic quantum particles in a weakly varying gravitational field. We explain why conventional treatments by traditional quantum optics and atomic physics may become inadequate when faced with issues related to locality, simultaneity, signaling, causality, etc. Adding the effects of gravitation, we are led to Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime (QFTCST) This well-established theory should serve as the canonical reference theory to a large class of proposed space experiments testing the foundations of gravitation and quantum theory.

We also review experiments exploring the connections between coherence and uncertainty relations, path information, and coherence of operations and measurements.

  We show how to predict and experimentally observe the emergence of random state ensembles naturally under time-independent Hamiltonian dynamics. The observed random ensembles emerge from projective measurements and are intimately linked to universal correlations built up between subsystems of a larger quantum system. Our work has implications for understanding randomness in quantum dynamics, and enables applications of this concept in a wider context.
