The evaporation of charged black holes
Adam R. Brown, Luca V. Iliesiu, Geoff Penington +1
Charged particle emission from black holes with sufficiently large charge is exponentially suppressed. As a result, such black holes are driven towards extremality by the emission…
Twice Upon a Time: Timelike-Separated Quantum Extremal Surfaces
Netta Engelhardt, Geoff Penington, Arvin Shahbazi-Moghaddam
The Python's Lunch conjecture for the complexity of bulk reconstruction involves two types of nonminimal quantum extremal surfaces (QESs): bulges and throats, which differ by their…
The black hole interior from non-isometric codes and complexity
Chris Akers, Netta Engelhardt, Daniel Harlow +2
Quantum error correction has given us a natural language for the emergence of spacetime, but the black hole interior poses a challenge for this framework: at late times the apparen…
Quantum minimal surfaces from quantum error correction
Chris Akers, Geoff Penington
We show that complementary state-specific reconstruction of logical (bulk) operators is equivalent to the existence of a quantum minimal surface prescription for physical (boundary…
Leading order corrections to the quantum extremal surface prescription
Chris Akers, Geoff Penington
We show that a naïve application of the quantum extremal surface (QES) prescription can lead to paradoxical results and must be corrected at leading order. The corrections arise wh…
Quantum Maximin Surfaces
Chris Akers, Netta Engelhardt, Geoff Penington +1
We formulate a quantum generalization of maximin surfaces and show that a quantum maximin surface is identical to the minimal quantum extremal surface, introduced in the EW prescri…
The Python's Lunch: geometric obstructions to decoding Hawking radiation
Adam R. Brown, Hrant Gharibyan, Geoff Penington +1
According to Harlow and Hayden [arXiv:1301.4504] the task of distilling information out of Hawking radiation appears to be computationally hard despite the fact that the quantum st…
Replica wormholes and the black hole interior
Geoff Penington, Stephen H. Shenker, Douglas Stanford +1
Recent work has shown how to obtain the Page curve of an evaporating black hole from holographic computations of entanglement entropy. We show how these computations can be justifi…
