Complexity from Quantum Information to Black Holes

In the past few years, notions of quantum complexity have become increasingly important in high-energy theory due to their relation to black hole interiors. This relation stems from the holographic correspondence, which relates the properties of quantum field theories to those of gravitational systems. The aim of this online workshop is to make progress toward understanding complexity in quantum field theory and holography by stimulating interactions between the high-energy and quantum information communities.
