Quantum covariant bit threads

Matthew Headrick, Sreeman Reddy Kasireddy, Andrew Rolph

Entanglement entropy plays a central role in holography. The quantum extremal surface (QES) formula is the standard tool in settings where both dynamics and bulk quantum correction…

A Reverse Black Hole Information Problem

Jan de Boer, Jildou Hollander, Andrew Rolph

We study the formation, detection and coarse-graining of black holes in AdS/CFT, with an emphasis on the tension between boundary unitarity and the production of mixed state Hawkin…

Scrambling or Stalling: Angular Momentum Barriers to Chaos in Holographic CFTs

Juan Hernandez, Andrew Rolph

Scrambling is a diagnostic of quantum chaos in strongly coupled systems, and plays a central role in the holographic description of black hole dynamics. We study scrambling in high…

Curious QNEIs from QNEC: New Bounds on Null Energy in Quantum Field Theory

Jackson R. Fliss, Andrew Rolph

We derive new families of quantum null energy inequalities (QNEIs), i.e. bounds on integrated null energy, in quantum field theories in two and higher dimensions. These are univers…

Quantum Bit Threads and the Entropohedron

Matthew Headrick, Sreeman Reddy Kasireddy, Andrew Rolph

We derive several new quantum bit thread prescriptions for holographic entanglement entropy, equivalent for static states to the quantum extremal surface formula. Our new prescript…

Krylov exponents and power spectra for maximal quantum chaos: an EFT approach

Saskia Demulder, Maria Knysh, Andrew Rolph

We examine the effective field theory (EFT) of maximal chaos through the lens of Krylov complexity and the Universal Operator Growth Hypothesis. We test the relationship between tw…
