Approximate locality, black hole complementarity and overlapping qubits

ChunJun Cao, Gong Cheng, Alexander Jahn +1

We construct a toy model of an evaporating black hole using approximately local degrees of freedom acting on ``overlapping" qubits in which a version of black hole complementarity…

End-of-the-World Singularities: The Good, the Bad, and the Heated-up

José Calderón-Infante, Gongrui Cheng, Alvaro Herráez +1

We revisit codimension-one End-of-the-World curvature singularities that drive scalars to infinite distance in field-space and have appeared in the context of dynamical cobordisms.…

State-dependent geometries from magic-enriched quantum codes

ChunJun Cao, Gong Cheng, Krishnanand Karthikeyan +2

Quantum error-correcting codes provide a powerful framework for emergent spacetime, yet existing subsystem erasure-correcting holographic code models describe only quantum fields o…

Gravitational back-reaction is magical

ChunJun Cao, Gong Cheng, Alioscia Hamma +3

We study the interplay between magic and entanglement in quantum many-body systems. We show that non-local magic, which is supported by the quantum correlations is lower bounded by…

Holographic phenomenology via overlapping degrees of freedom

Oliver Friedrich, ChunJun Cao, Sean M. Carroll +2

The holographic principle suggests that regions of space contain fewer physical degrees of freedom than would be implied by conventional quantum field theory. Meanwhile, in Hilbert…
