Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, quantum information and formal aspects of theoretical physics. This covers, for example, theories of the topological phases of matter, quantum field theory dynamics, emergent descriptions of space-time and quantum gravity, the connections between quantum entanglement and aspects of quantum dynamics involving thermalization, many-body localization, black hole information loss, dualities involving gravitational theories, and constraints on consistent quantum field theories. Also of interest is theoretical work on terrestrial or astrophysical signatures of physics beyond the standard model, including applications of atomic, nuclear, particle or condensed matter theoretical physics.
