On the weight of Entanglement

Relativistic Quantum Thermodynamics
Does entanglement have a weight? This question stems from the observation that the effects of the quantum character of a system on its gravitation are unknown. Entanglement, a genuine quantum property of quantum systems, can be viewed as correlations between physical degrees of freedom...
About thermodynamics: Thermodynamics is arguably the most long lived and successfully exploited theory of all physical theories. It can be used to understand the physics and performance of heat machines, to study black holes and condensed matter systems, to investigate properties of the cosmos...

Sace-based Relativistic and Quantum Science

Relativistic and Quantum Information
It is still an open question which are the effects, if any, of space-time curvature and gravity on quantum physics at large scales i.e., the scales at which relativity becomes important. Space agencies across the world are interested in bringing quantum technologies, such as quantum key distribution (QKD), to space...
The main idea that lies behind RQI is that relativistic effects should affect quantum information protocols and processing. Although it might seems specific to QI only, this idea can be extended even further. Relativity should affect anything that involves information...
