ER = EPR revisited: On the Entropy of an Einstein-Rosen Bridge
arXiv:2003.13117
Abstract
We propose a new link between entropy and area: an eternal black hole with an ER bridge with cross-section can carry a macroscopic amount of quantum information, or be in a mixed state, with entropy bounded by . We substantiate our proposal in the context of AdS3 and JT gravity, by using the Island prescription and replica wormhole method for computing the black hole entropy. We argue that the typical mixed state of a two sided black hole takes the form of an entangled `thermo-mixed double' state with only classical correlations between the two sides. Our result for the von Neumann entropy of a post-Page time two-sided black hole is smaller by a factor of two from previous answers. Our reasoning implies that black hole quantum information is topologically protected, similar to the information stored inside a topological quantum memory.
