de Sitter space is sometimes not empty
Vijay Balasubramanian, Yasunori Nomura, Tomonori Ugajin
Multiple lines of evidence suggest that the Hilbert space of an isolated de Sitter universe is one dimensional but can appear larger when probed by a gravitating observer. To test…
The Physical Effects of Learning
Menachem Stern, Andrea J. Liu, Vijay Balasubramanian
Interacting many-body physical systems ranging from neural networks in the brain to folding proteins to self-modifying electrical circuits can learn to perform diverse tasks. This…
Playing it safe: information constrains collective betting strategies
Philipp Fleig, Vijay Balasubramanian
Every interaction of a living organism with its environment involves the placement of a bet. Armed with partial knowledge about a stochastic world, the organism must decide its nex…
Quantum Error Correction from Complexity in Brownian SYK
Vijay Balasubramanian, Arjun Kar, Cathy Li +2
We study the robustness of quantum error correction in a one-parameter ensemble of codes generated by the Brownian SYK model, where the parameter quantifies the encoding complexity…
Microscopic origin of the entropy of astrophysical black holes
Vijay Balasubramanian, Albion Lawrence, Javier M. Magan +1
We construct an infinite family of microstates for black holes in Minkowski spacetime which have effective semiclassical descriptions in terms of collapsing dust shells in the blac…
Microscopic origin of the entropy of black holes in general relativity
Vijay Balasubramanian, Albion Lawrence, Javier M. Magan +1
We construct an infinite family of microstates with geometric interiors for eternal black holes in general relativity with negative cosmological constant in any dimension. Wormhole…
