Title:     Cosmology Meets (Quantum) Information

Abstract: Gravity is a puzzling subject for quantum physics. It is also a subject for which quantum information theory has proven decidedly helpful in grappling with. Quantum information gives us new ways of interpreting gravitational questions, and applying the associated information-theoretic machinery often leads to new insights and answers. While black holes are a favourite topic for information in gravity, in this talk we will turn to cosmology and the immense range of time and energy scales spanned by cosmic evolution. I will discuss a handful of places where (both classical and quantum) information theory makes contact with cosmology, as well as some prospects for future theoretical and observational progress.
