Final PhD Oral Examination (Thesis Title: “Aspects of Quantum Information in Quantum Field Theory and Quantum Gravity”)

Abstract:
We discuss applications of quantum information theoretic concepts to quantum gravity and the low-energy regime of quantum field theories.
The first part of this thesis is concerned with how quantum information spreads in four-dimensional scattering experiments for theories coupled to quantum electro- dynamics or perturbative quantum gravity. In these cases, every scattering process is accompanied by the emission of an infinite number of soft photons or gravi-tons, which cause infrared divergences in the calculation of scattering probabilities.
