Beni Yoshida | Perimeter Institute

Teaching Affiliations

Perimeter Institute is committed to diversity within its community and I welcome applications from underrepresented groups.

Research Interests

Quantum Information Theory, Quantum Gravity, Condensed Matter Theory. I focus on applications of quantum information theory to problems of quantum many-body physics and quantum gravity. In particular, I have used the techniques of quantum coding theory to construct toy models of the AdS/CFT correspondence and discovered information retrieval processes from black holes by using the quantum information scrambling phenomena.
