Jose L. F. Barbon

Biography

Works as a theoretical physicist at the Instituto de Física Teórica, a joint venture of the Autónoma University of Madrid (UAM) and the Council for Scientific Resarch (CSIC). My scientific work deals with quantum field theory and gravity in general. Special topics of interest include quantum black holes, the holographic principle, AdS/CFT, superstrings, QCD, supersymmetry, quantum aspects of cosmology and quantum information theory. Here you may find basic data about my scientific interests as well as various pieces of teaching material for my lectures, including those currently running at the “Master de Física Teórica”

Research Interest

I work on quantum field theory and quantum gravity. Specific topics of interest include: black holes and quantum information theory, cosmological singularities, inflation, string theory, AdS/CFT, large-N gauge theory, quantum hall effect...
