Universal Bound on Effective Central Charge and Its Saturation
The effective central charge (denoted by ${c}_{\mathrm{eff}}$) is a measure of entanglement through a conformal interface, while the transmission coefficient (encoded in the coefficient ${c}_{LR}$ of the two-point function of the energy-momentum tensor across the interface) is a measure of...

Energy transmission in quantum field theory requires information: Research finds surprisingly simple relationship
An international team of researchers has found a surprisingly simple relationship between the rates of energy and information transmission across an interface connecting two quantum field theories. Their work was published in Physical Review Letters on August 30.
