Quantum Information in Quantum Gravity 2026 (QIQG 2026)

Organizer:Bartek Czech, Janet Hung, Cheng Peng, Wei Song, Huajia Wang, Qiang Wen, Zhenbin Yang, Yang Zhou

The conference will be held at Tsinghua University from June 27 to July 1, 2026.


Building on the discussions of QIQG 2025, QIQG 2026 will propel the dialogue into a new era of further synthesis of ideas in quantum information theory and quantum gravity and their applications. We will convene leading theorists, mathematical physicists, and quantum computational scientists to share breakthroughs of this profound convergence. The program will cover topics on:

1. Holography, Entanglement, and the Emergent Spacetime

2. Classical and Quantum aspects of black hole

3.Quantum Information, Quantum Cryptography and their implications

4. Solvable Models: SYK, JT Gravity, and Liouville Theory

5. Computational Complexity and Holography

6. Mathematical Structures in Quantum Gravity

7. Cosmology and de Sitter Space in Holography

8.Experimental probe of the quantum nature of gravity
