APS Medal for Exceptional Achievement in Research: Invited article on entanglement properties of quantum field theory
Open accessAbstract
The 2016 APS Medal for Excellence in Physics was given to Edward Witten. This contribution was invited in conjunction with this award. These original notes contain concise explanations of some key results in the axiomatic and algebraic approaches to quantum field theory, which are relevant to quantum entanglement. They serve to put the connection between quantum field theory and quantum information theory on a precise and rigorous footing.

“tant in Unruh’s thermal interpretation of accelerated motion in Minkowski spacetime [18]. It is also closely related to analogous path integral derivations of the thermal nature of black hole physics [62], [19] and of correlation functions in de Sitter spacetime [63,64]. As this approach is relatively well-known, we w…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
