Wormholes and the imaginary distance bound
Juan Maldacena, Alexander Maloney, Brian McPeak
Some of the simplest wormhole solutions involve massless scalar fields that take imaginary values. Massless fields can be interpreted as coupling constants in asymptotically flat o…
Comparing the decoherence effects due to black holes versus ordinary matter
Anna Biggs, Juan Maldacena
Recently a certain thought experiment was discussed which involves the decoherence of a quantum system due to a black hole. Here we show how this phenomenon is consistent with stan…
Comments on the double cone wormhole
Yiming Chen, Victor Ivo, Juan Maldacena
In this paper we revisit the double cone wormhole introduced by Saad, Shenker and Stanford (SSS), which was shown to reproduce the ramp in the spectral form factor. As a first appr…
A supersymmetric SYK model with a curious low energy behavior
Anna Biggs, Juan Maldacena, Vladimir Narovlansky
We consider = 2, 4 supersymmetric SYK models that have a peculiar low energy behavior, with the entropy going like , where $a \neq…
A simple quantum system that describes a black hole
Juan Maldacena
During the past decades, theorists have been studying quantum mechanical systems that are believed to describe black holes. We review one of the simplest examples. It involves a co…
Scaling similarities and quasinormal modes of D0 black hole solutions
Anna Biggs, Juan Maldacena
We study the gravity solution dual to the D0 brane quantum mechanics, or BFSS matrix model, in the 't Hooft limit. The classical physics described by this gravity solution is invar…
