Universal Constraints on Energy Flow and SYK Thermalization
Ahmed Almheiri, Alexey Milekhin, Brian Swingle
We study the dynamics of a quantum system in thermal equilibrium that is suddenly coupled to a bath at a different temperature, a situation inspired by a particular black hole evap…
Replica Wormholes and the Entropy of Hawking Radiation
Ahmed Almheiri, Thomas Hartman, Juan Maldacena +2
The information paradox can be realized in anti-de Sitter spacetime joined to a Minkowski region. In this setting, we show that the large discrepancy between the von Neumann entrop…
Entanglement islands in higher dimensions
Ahmed Almheiri, Raghu Mahajan, Jorge E. Santos
It has been suggested in recent work that the Page curve of Hawking radiation can be recovered using computations in semi-classical gravity provided one allows for "islands" in the…
Islands outside the horizon
Ahmed Almheiri, Raghu Mahajan, Juan Maldacena
We consider an AdS black hole in equilibrium with a bath, which we take to have a dual description as (0+1)-dimensional quantum mechanical system coupled to a (1+1)-dimensional…
The Page curve of Hawking radiation from semiclassical geometry
Ahmed Almheiri, Raghu Mahajan, Juan Maldacena +1
We consider a gravity theory coupled to matter, where the matter has a higher-dimensional holographic dual. In such a theory, finding quantum extremal surfaces becomes equivalent t…
The entropy of bulk quantum fields and the entanglement wedge of an evaporating black hole
Ahmed Almheiri, Netta Engelhardt, Donald Marolf +1
Bulk quantum fields are often said to contribute to the generalized entropy only at . Nonetheless, in the context of evaporating black hol…
