▼a In this thesis, we use classical and quantum information theory to probe fundamental questions about living and nonliving physical systems, including developing embryos, conformal field theories, black holes, and holographic dualities. We begin |
| 520 | |
▼a We then transition to studying how information is tied to physics in nonliving systems, beginning with a conjecture on the structure of universal terms in the Renyi entropy in 3 + 1-d CFT. In the following pair of chapters, we use "topological" |
| 520 | |
▼a Then, in the final chapter, we study the "information flow" among energy scales in a 2-d field theory constructed as a CFT deformed by the irrelevant dimension-4 operator TT¯. We do so by constructing an explicit manifestation of holographic RG. |
| 520 | |
▼a Throughout, our goal is to demonstrate that studying uncertainty with information theory, entanglement, and renormalization group flow allows us to organize the unknowns and thus obtain new methods for constraining, characterizing, and dualizing |
