A Conversation on ER = EPR
Erik Verlinde, Herman Verlinde
Ten years ago this week, the two authors had an email conversation about black holes, ER bridges, and EPR entanglement. This brief note contains a verbatim translation of these ema…
Behind the Horizon in AdS/CFT
Erik Verlinde, Herman Verlinde
We extend the recent proposal of Papadodimas and Raju of a CFT construction of operators inside the black hole interior to arbitrary non-maximally mixed states. Our construction bu…
Black Hole Information as Topological Qubits
Erik Verlinde, Herman Verlinde
The principle of balanced holography, introduced in [1], posits that black hole information is stored in non-local correlations between the interior and exterior. Based on this con…
Passing through the Firewall
Erik Verlinde, Herman Verlinde
We propose that black hole information is encoded in non-local correlations between microscopic interior and exterior degrees of freedom. We give a simple qubit representation of t…
Black Hole Entanglement and Quantum Error Correction
Erik Verlinde, Herman Verlinde
It was recently argued by Almheiri et al that black hole complementarity strains the basic rules of quantum information theory, such as monogamy of entanglement. Motivated by this…
M-theory and a Topological String Duality
Robbert Dijkgraaf, Cumrun Vafa, Erik Verlinde
We show how the topological string partition function, which is known to capture the degeneracies of a gas of BPS spinning M2-branes in M-theory compactified to 5 dimensions, is re…
