About
Charis Anastopoulos
My research spans several fascinating areas in theoretical physics:
Theoretical Gravity: Thermodynamics of gravitational systems and black holes, quantum phenomena in non-inertial reference frames, the effect of gravitational fields on quantum systems.
Foundations of Quantum Theory: The role of time in quantum theory, quantum measurement theory in field theory, quantum correlations, the emergence of irreversibility and macroscopic behavior in quantum systems.
Quantum Information: Open quantum systems, dynamics of entanglement, quantum information in relativistic systems.
