"It from Bit": The Hartle-Hawking state and quantum mechanics for de Sitter observers
Ying Zhao
The one-state statement for closed universes has sparked considerable discussion. In this paper, we examine its physical meaning in the context of the Hartle-Hawking state and de S…
Holographic Black Hole Formation and Scrambling in Time-Ordered Correlators
Pratyusha Chowdhury, Felix M. Haehl, Adrián Sánchez-Garrido +1
We describe a holographic mechanism for black hole formation via the collision of two shock waves in three-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime. In the dual conformal field theory…
Quantum mechanics and observers for gravity in a closed universe
Daniel Harlow, Mykhaylo Usatyuk, Ying Zhao
Recent arguments based on the quantum extremal surface formula or the gravitational path integral have given fairly compelling evidence that the Hilbert space of quantum gravity in…
De Sitter quantum gravity and the emergence of local algebras
Molly Kaplan, Donald Marolf, Xuyang Yu +1
Quantum theories of gravity are generally expected to have some degree of non-locality, with familiar local physics emerging only in a particular limit. Perturbative quantum gravit…
