Group-averaged baby universe field theory

Hong Zhe Chen

Gravitational sums over spacetime topology suggest a baby-universe field theory whose quanta are entire universes. We develop such a description from group-averaged amplitudes that…

Disentanglement as a strong cosmic censor

Hong Zhe Chen

If entanglement builds spacetime, then conversely, disentanglement ought to destroy spacetime. From the quantum null energy condition and quantum focusing conjecture, we obtain dis…

Entanglement, Soft Modes, and Celestial CFT

Hong Zhe Chen, Robert Myers, Ana-Maria Raclariu

We revisit the calculation of vacuum entanglement entropy in free Maxwell theory in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. Weyl invariance allows for this theory to be embedded as a…

Entanglement, Soft Modes, and Celestial Holography

Hong Zhe Chen, Robert C. Myers, Ana-Maria Raclariu

We evaluate the vacuum entanglement entropy across a cut of future null infinity for free Maxwell theory in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The Weyl invariance of 4D Maxwell…

Charged Complexity and the Thermofield Double State

Shira Chapman, Hong Zhe Chen

We establish a systematic framework for studying quantum computational complexity of Gaussian states of charged systems based on Nielsen's geometric approach. We use this framework…

Conical Holographic Heat Engines

Wasif Ahmed, Hong Zhe Chen, Elliott Gesteau +2

We demonstrate that adding a conical deficit to a black hole holographic heat engine increases its efficiency; in contrast, allowing a black hole to accelerate {\it decreases} effi…
