The workshop aims at gathering theorists and experimentalists interested in measuring quantum information observables, such as magic and entanglement, on particles created at colliders and using these new observables as an innovative direction to probe fundamental interactions. The programme includes discussion on the recent experimental results obtained in this field, on the implications of these new observables for new physics searches, and feasibility studies for multiple final states in current and future colliders. On the theoretical side, the workshop also aims to investigate the possible integration of quantum information–theoretic concepts in quantum field theory and particle physics. It will bring together experts not only from particle physics, but also from quantum information science and nuclear theory, and will include panel discussions and overview talks to explore the broader links between quantum information, technologies, and high-energy physics.

The large-charge expansion is a powerful approach for analytically accessing strongly-coupled models at or near criticality. We focus on a sector of fixed and large global charge where it is possible to express observables as an expansion in inverse powers of the charge. I will first introduce the approach using the simplest relativistic case, namely the O(2) model. Then I will discuss how to apply the large-charge expansion to non-relativistic models which is relevant for the study of ultracold Fermi gases and nuclear physics.

In this talk, we explore the structure and solution of thermal conformal field theories (CFTs) using the conformal bootstrap approach. At finite temperature, the role of crossing symmetry is played by the Kubo-Martin-Schwinger (KMS) condition, which imposes periodicity on thermal correlation functions. We present two methods for solving the resulting KMS sum rules for thermal one-point functions, assuming knowledge of the zero-temperature CFT data. The first is a numerical method that incorporates the asymptotic operator product expansion (OPE) density of heavy operators, derived using Tauberian theorems. The second is an analytical approach based on dispersion relations. We benchmark both methods against known results in free theories and two-dimensional CFTs, and subsequently apply them to O(N) models for N=1,2,3, as well as in the large-N limit and lastly to holographic CFTs.

Measurement of B-meson production cross section in proton–proton collisions at √s = 13.6 TeV with ALICE. Due to their large mass, beauty quarks are produced in hard-scattering processes with large transferred momentum, allowing their production to be computed via perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) calculations. Measurements of beauty-hadron production cross sections in proton--proton (pp) collisions provide a sensitive test of these calculations.
