Abstract

This paper presents a curated selection of research questions at the intersection of quantum gravity and quantum information, chosen to highlight issues that we regard as particularly important for researchers in both fields. We organize the discussion into four main themes: the operational characterization of observables, the role of observers, quantum error correction, and the infinite-dimensionality of Hilbert spaces. We hope that addressing these questions will engage researchers across both communities and further strengthen the profound interplay between the two disciplines.
