Suggested reading for quantum information applications in QFT

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on essential readings for understanding the intersection of Quantum Field Theory (QFT) and Quantum Information (QI). Key recommendations include Dan Harlow's Jerusalem lectures on arXiv (1409.1231) and Tom Hartman's course on "Quantum gravity and black holes." These resources are particularly suitable for postgraduate students and researchers entering the field, although they may be slightly outdated given the rapid advancements in the area.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Quantum Field Theory (QFT)
  • Understanding of Quantum Information (QI) principles
  • Basic knowledge of Quantum Gravity concepts
  • Ability to comprehend academic lectures and papers
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore recent publications on entanglement harvesting in QFT
  • Study the latest advancements in Quantum Gravity theories
  • Review current research on the applications of Quantum Information in QFT
  • Attend online courses or lectures focused on Quantum Information and QFT integration
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for postgraduate students, researchers in theoretical physics, and anyone interested in the applications of Quantum Information within Quantum Field Theory.

What would you say is essential reading for those of us who want to understand how exactly is QFT benefiting from QI?
Can anyone give a summary of what is happening, and where to start reading? (at postgraduate/entry-research-level).

Entanglement harvesting is a topic that comes to my mind ...
 
Some nice lectures I've found on the cross section of quantum field theory, quantum info, and quantum gravity:
Dan Harlow's Jerusalem lectures: https://arxiv.org/abs/1409.1231
Tom Hartman's course on "Quantum gravity and black holes": http://www.hartmanhep.net/topics2015/

I guess these are both relatively old compared to how fast the field moves though, so they might be more geared towards someone who was a grad student in 2016 like I was :).
