Professor Jeff Forshaw describing the complex quantum problem, that emerge when trying to track information flowing in and out of Black Holes, on the Universe Stage, at New Scientist Live 2022


Black holes are fascinating objects because of the way they force us to address the biggest questions in physics. In this talk, Jeff Forshaw will examine the consequences of trying to track the flow of information into and out of a black hole. Recent insights indicate that space and time are emergent features related to quantum entanglement, and in a fashion that bears some resemblance to quantum error correcting codes, such as are needed to make stable quantum computers. Jeff Forshaw is a particle physicist who has published over a hundred research papers and written several books, including three best-selling science books co-authored with Professor Brian Cox. He won the 2013 Institute of Physics’ Kelvin Medal for his work explaining science to non-experts.
