Description
The tried-and-true method for probing fundamental physics is to measure
scattering probabilities with colliders. Recent advances in quantum
information-based theory and experimental technologies suggest new methods for
understanding elementary physics. In this vein, I will discuss some results on
the quantum structure of scattering states, and sketch some preliminary ideas
about trying to use novel information-theoretic observables and techniques to
explore fundamental theories at energies accessible in labs today.
