Research Interests

My two big passions are gravity and entropy.  Current research projects involve theory of open systems, relativistic aspects of quantum information, holographic principles, black hole physics and quantum gravity. In addition, no matter what I am actually doing, it often turns out to be related to the foundations of quantum theory.  

This list appears to consist of a variety of unrelated items, but it has a common theme and a shared technical side. Thie common theme is that information is physical. Its processing is a branch of physics, while study of physics involves the study of information. The technical cohesion follows from a central role that quantum correlations and a variety of entropy-like quantities that are used to characterize them are playing in my research.
