Dear quanta,
Here is a field-theory talk that uses quantum information to get some
physical constraints. I'm not sure what the speaker means by 'quantum
information' but I know that strong subadditivty has been used in similar
settings.

*Bounding Negative Energy Density with Causality and Quantum Information*
*Tom Faulkner— University of Illinois*
*Abstract:* Negative energy density can arise naturally in Quantum Field
Theory. However too much of it can lead to pathological spacetimes when
coupling the theory to gravity. In this talk I will discuss conjectured
bounds on negative energy density and sketch very recent general proofs of
these bounds. The methods we use combine causality considerations with
concepts taken from quantum information theory.
