Probing Stringy Horizons with Pole-Skipping in Non-Maximal Chaotic Systems

Ping Gao, Hong Liu

In this paper, we study pole-skipping in non-maximally quantum chaotic systems. Using Rindler conformal field theories and the large- SYK chain as illustrative examples, we argu…

Single-Sided Black Holes in Double-Scaled SYK Model and No Man's Island

Xuchen Cao, Ping Gao

We study a single-sided black hole with an end-of-the-world (EoW) brane behind the horizon in the double-scaled SYK (DSSYK). The new Hamiltonian is a deformation of the original DS…

D-commuting SYK model: building quantum chaos from integrable blocks

Ping Gao, Han Lin, Cheng Peng

We construct a new family of quantum chaotic models by combining multiple copies of integrable commuting SYK models. As each copy of the commuting SYK model does not commute with o…

Modular flow in JT gravity and entanglement wedge reconstruction

Ping Gao

It has been shown in recent works that JT gravity with matter with two boundaries has a type II algebra on each side. As the bulk spacetime between the two boundaries fluc…

Fast resolving Galactic binaries in LISA data and its ability to study the Milky Way

Pin Gao, Xi-Long Fan, Zhou-Jian Cao +1

Resolving individual gravitational waves from tens of millions of double white dwarf (DWD) binaries in the Milky Way is a challenge for future space-based gravitational wave detect…

Commuting SYK: a pseudo-holographic model

Ping Gao

In this work, we study a type of commuting SYK model in which all terms in the Hamiltonian are commutative to each other. Because of the commutativity, this model has a large numbe…

An effective field theory for non-maximal quantum chaos

Ping Gao, Hong Liu

In non-maximally quantum chaotic systems, the exponential behavior of out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs) results from summing over exchanges of an infinite tower of higher "sp…

Seeing behind black hole horizons in SYK

Ping Gao, Lampros Lamprou

We present an explicit reconstruction of the interior of an AdS black hole in Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity, that is entirely formulated in the dual SYK model and makes no direct r…

An effective matrix model for dynamical end of the world branes in Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity

Ping Gao, Daniel Louis Jafferis, David K. Kolchmeyer

We study Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity with dynamical end of the world branes in asymptotically nearly AdS spacetimes. We quantize this theory in Lorentz signature, and compute the…

Many-body quantum teleportation via operator spreading in the traversable wormhole protocol

Thomas Schuster, Bryce Kobrin, Ping Gao +7

By leveraging shared entanglement between a pair of qubits, one can teleport a quantum state from one particle to another. Recent advances have uncovered an intrinsically many-body…

A Traversable Wormhole Teleportation Protocol in the SYK Model

Ping Gao, Daniel Louis Jafferis

In this paper, we propose a concrete teleportation protocol in the SYK model based on a particle traversing a wormhole. The required operations for the communication, and insertion…

Regenesis and quantum traversable wormholes

Ping Gao, Hong Liu

Recent gravity discussions of a traversable wormhole indicate that in holographic systems signals generated by a source could reappear long after they have dissipated, with the nee…

Ghostbusters: Unitarity and Causality of Non-equilibrium Effective Field Theories

Ping Gao, Paolo Glorioso, Hong Liu

For a non-equilibrium physical system defined along a closed time path (CTP), a key constraint is the so-called largest time equation, which is a consequence of unitarity and impli…

Emergent Supersymmetry in Local Equilibrium Systems

Ping Gao, Hong Liu

Many physical processes we observe in nature involve variations of macroscopic quantities over spatial and temporal scales much larger than microscopic molecular collision scales a…

Traversable Wormholes via a Double Trace Deformation

Ping Gao, Daniel Louis Jafferis, Aron C. Wall

After turning on an interaction that couples the two boundaries of an eternal BTZ black hole, we find a quantum matter stress tensor with negative average null energy, whose gravit…

Symmetry-protected non-Abelian braiding of Majorana Kramers' pairs

Pin Gao, Ying-Ping He, Xiong-Jun Liu

We develop the complete theory for non-Abelian braiding of Majorana Kramers' pairs (MKPs) in time-reversal (TR) invariant topological superconductors. By introducing an effective H…
