From Tornadoes to Black Holes: How to Survive an Information Catastrophe
Speaker(s): Patrick Hayden
Abstract: Black holes are regions of space with gravity so strong that nothing can escape from them, not even light. This isn't science fiction - there's even a gigantic black hole at the center of our galaxy. It's hard to imagine a more effective way to irrevocably erase and destroy a computer's hard drive t... read more

Black holes as mirrors
Speaker(s): Patrick Hayden
Abstract: I'll discuss information retrieval from evaporating black holes, assuming that the internal dynamics of a black hole is unitary and rapidly mixing, and assuming that the retriever has unlimited control over the emitted Hawking radiation. If the evaporation of the black hole has already proceeded pas... read more

The power of forgetting
Speaker(s): Patrick Hayden
Abstract: Thermodynamics places surprisingly few fundamental constraints on information processing. In fact, most people would argue that it imposes only one, known as Landauer's Principle: a process erasing one bit of information must release an amount kT ln 2 of heat. It is this simple observation that ... read more
