On the reconstruction map in JT gravity

Chris Akers, Andrew Lucas, Amit Vikram

An open question in AdS/CFT is how to reconstruct semiclassical bulk operators precisely enough that non-perturbative quantum effects can be computed. We propose a set of physicall…

On observers in holographic maps

Chris Akers, Gracemarie Bueller, Oliver DeWolfe +3

A straightforward gravitational path integral calculation implies that closed universes are trivial, described by a one dimensional Hilbert space. Two recent papers by Harlow-Usaty…

Holographic pseudoentanglement and the complexity of the AdS/CFT dictionary

Chris Akers, Adam Bouland, Lijie Chen +3

The `quantum gravity in the lab' paradigm suggests that quantum computers might shed light on quantum gravity by simulating the CFT side of the AdS/CFT correspondence and mapping t…

Relative state-counting for semiclassical black holes

Chris Akers, Jonathan Sorce

It has been shown that entropy differences between certain states of perturbative quantum gravity can be computed without specifying an ultraviolet completion. This is analogous to…

Multipartite edge modes and tensor networks

Chris Akers, Ronak M. Soni, Annie Y. Wei

Holographic tensor networks model AdS/CFT, but so far they have been limited by involving only systems that are very different from gravity. Unfortunately, we cannot straightforwar…

Background independent tensor networks

Chris Akers, Annie Y. Wei

Conventional holographic tensor networks can be described as toy holographic maps constructed from many small linear maps acting in a spatially local way, all connected together wi…
