From black holes to quantum computing and AI

Talk (Physikalisches Kolloquium) von Prof. Marika Taylor (University of Birmingham) The study of black holes has been at the centre of research into theoretical physics for over five decades, following the seminal discovery by Hawking of Hawking radiation. Black holes provide a natural laboratory for testing physics under extreme conditions, and for developing deeper understanding of the laws of Nature. Remarkable new connections have been found in recent years between black holes and future computing.
