Conference announcement: “Black Holes, Quantum Information, Entanglement and All That”

The special properties of Black Holes have intrigued researchers for decades. They do signal their existence in nature in several ways including by emitting gravitational waves while merging. Their way of handling information is more elusive. In this workshop several aspects of this information handling will be discussed, with some emphasis on possible relations it has to the theory of chaos, thermalization and quantum information.

Invited speakers are : Barbon José (IFT-CSIC, Univ. Autonoma de Madrid), Bena Iosif (CEA Saclay), Craps Ben (Vrije Univ. Brussel), De Boer Jan  (Univ. of Amsterdam), Ferrari Frank (Univ. Libre de Bruxelles), Gibbons Gary  (DAMTP, Cambridge Univ.), Gurau Razvan (CPHT, Ecole polytechnique), Kurchan Jorge (ENS, Paris), Maldacena Juan (IAS, Princeton), Page Don N. (Univ. of Alberta, Canada), Papadodimas Kyriakos (CERN, Genève), Perry Malcolm (Cambridge Univ.), Rivasseau Vincent (Univ. Paris-Sud, Orsay), Rosenhaus Vladimir (UC Santa Barbara), Shepelyansky Dima  (Univ. Paul Sabatier, Toulouse), Solodukhin Sergey (Univ. de Tours), Veneziano Gabriele (CERN, Genève)

The conference will take place at IHES, it will start at 2pm on May 29th and it will end on June 1st.

It is organised by Thibault Damour (IHES), Vasily Pestun (IHES), Eliezer Rabinovici (IHES &  Hebrew Univ. of Jerusalem).
