Generalized conformal quantum mechanics as an ideal observer in two-dimensional gravity
arXiv:2409.15415 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.111.066011
Abstract
We obtain an action for a generalized conformal mechanics (GCM) coupled to Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity from a double scaling limit of the motion of a charged massive particle in the near-horizon geometry of a near-extremal spherical black hole. When JT gravity is treated in the classical approximation, the backreaction of the particle's wavefunction on the time-reparametrization mode (and therefore the bulk metric) vanishes while the conformal symmetry in GCM is reparametrized in a state-dependent way. We also construct the semi-classical Hilbert space of the full theory by explicitly solving the general time-dependent normalizable solutions of the Schrödinger equation for GCM, and show that the time-reparametrization mode can be inferred from the measurement of suitable observables. Since the full theory of the GCM coupled to JT gravity is amenable to quantization, it can lead to a solvable model for a detector coupled to quantum gravity.
