A Bosonic Model of Quantum Holography

Brian Swingle, Michael Winer

We analyze a model of qubits which we argue has an emergent quantum gravitational description similar to the fermionic Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model. The model we consider is known…

Cosmology from random entanglement

Stefano Antonini, Martin Sasieta, Brian Swingle

We construct entangled microstates of a pair of holographic CFTs whose dual semiclassical description includes big bang-big crunch AdS cosmologies in spaces without boundaries. The…

Holographic measurement in CFT thermofield doubles

Stefano Antonini, Brianna Grado-White, Shao-Kai Jian +1

We extend the results of arXiv:2209.12903 by studying local projective measurements performed on subregions of two copies of a CFT in the thermofield double state and investi…

Accelerating cosmology from gravitational effective field theory

Stefano Antonini, Petar Simidzija, Brian Swingle +2

A large class of cosmologies have big-bang / big crunch spacetimes with time-symmetric backgrounds and asymptotically AdS Euclidean continuations suggesting a possible holog…

Enhanced Negative Energy with a Massless Dirac Field

Brian Swingle, Mark Van Raamsdonk

Motivated by traversable wormhole constructions that require large amounts of negative energy, we explore constraints on the amount of negative energy that can be carried by a free…

Holographic measurement and quantum teleportation in the SYK thermofield double

Stefano Antonini, Brianna Grado-White, Shao-Kai Jian +1

According to holography, entanglement is the building block of spacetime; therefore, drastic changes of entanglement will lead to interesting transitions in the dual spacetime. In…

Holographic measurement and bulk teleportation

Stefano Antonini, Gregory Bentsen, ChunJun Cao +3

Holography has taught us that spacetime is emergent and its properties depend on the entanglement structure of the dual theory. In this paper, we describe how changes in the entang…

Can one hear the shape of a wormhole?

Stefano Antonini, Petar Simidzija, Brian Swingle +1

A large class of flat big bang - big crunch cosmologies with negative cosmological constant are related by analytic continuation to asymptotically AdS traversable wormholes with pl…

Accelerating cosmology from a holographic wormhole

Stefano Antonini, Petar Simidzija, Brian Swingle +1

We consider cosmological models in which the cosmology is related via analytic continuation to a Euclidean asymptotically AdS planar wormhole geometry defined holographically via a…

Cosmology from the vacuum

Stefano Antonini, Petar Simidzija, Brian Swingle +1

We argue that standard tools of holography can be used to describe fully non-perturbative microscopic models of cosmology in which a period of accelerated expansion may result from…

Snowmass White Paper: New ideas for many-body quantum systems from string theory and black holes

Mike Blake, Yingfei Gu, Sean A. Hartnoll +5

During the last two decades many new insights into the dynamics of strongly coupled quantum many-body systems have been obtained using gauge/gravity duality, with black holes often…

Holographic boundary states and dimensionally-reduced braneworld spacetimes

Stefano Antonini, Brian Swingle

Recently it was proposed that microscopic models of braneworld cosmology could be realized in the context of AdS/CFT using black hole microstates containing an end-of-the-world bra…

Complexity growth of operators in the SYK model and in JT gravity

Shao-Kai Jian, Brian Swingle, Zhuo-Yu Xian

The concepts of operator size and computational complexity play important roles in the study of quantum chaos and holographic duality because they help characterize the structure o…

Building Bulk Geometry from the Tensor Radon Transform

ChunJun Cao, Xiao-Liang Qi, Brian Swingle +1

Using the tensor Radon transform and related numerical methods, we study how bulk geometries can be explicitly reconstructed from boundary entanglement entropies in the specific ca…

Universal Constraints on Energy Flow and SYK Thermalization

Ahmed Almheiri, Alexey Milekhin, Brian Swingle

We study the dynamics of a quantum system in thermal equilibrium that is suddenly coupled to a bath at a different temperature, a situation inspired by a particular black hole evap…

Cosmology at the end of the world

Stefano Antonini, Brian Swingle

In the last two decades the Anti-de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory correspondence (AdS/CFT) has emerged as focal point of many research interests. In particular, it functions as a s…

Entanglement of purification: from spin chains to holography

Phuc Nguyen, Trithep Devakul, Matthew G. Halbasch +2
