Vaibhav Gautam gave a virtual talk at the University of Milano-Bicocca on Wednesday 5th April. The title of the talk was “Matrix Entanglement” and was based on a paper of the same title (see blog post here). The main theme of the talk was how the entanglement on the gravity side can be described as […]
