Focusing bounds for CFT correlators and the S-matrix
Thomas Hartman, Yikun Jiang, Francesco Sgarlata +1
The focusing theorem in General Relativity underlies causality, singularity theorems, entropy inequalities, and more. In AdS/CFT, we show that focusing in the bulk leads to a bound…
TF1 Snowmass Report: Quantum gravity, string theory, and black holes
Daniel Harlow, Shamit Kachru, Juan Maldacena +35
We give an overview of the field of quantum gravity, string theory and black holes summarizing various white papers in this subject that were submitted as part of the Snowmass proc…
Coarse graining pure states in AdS/CFT
Jeevan Chandra, Thomas Hartman
We construct new Euclidean wormhole solutions in AdS(d+1) and discuss their role in UV-complete theories, without ensemble averaging. The geometries are interpreted as overlaps of…
Snowmass white paper: Quantum information in quantum field theory and quantum gravity
Thomas Faulkner, Thomas Hartman, Matthew Headrick +2
We present a summary of recent progress and remaining challenges in applying the methods and ideas of quantum information theory to the study of quantum field theory and quantum gr…
Snowmass White Paper: Quantum Aspects of Black Holes and the Emergence of Spacetime
Raphael Bousso, Xi Dong, Netta Engelhardt +4
Black holes provide a window into the microscopic structure of spacetime in quantum gravity. Recently the quantum information contained in Hawking radiation has been calculated, ve…
Semiclassical 3D gravity as an average of large-c CFTs
Jeevan Chandra, Scott Collier, Thomas Hartman +1
A two-dimensional CFT dual to a semiclassical theory of gravity in three dimensions must have a large central charge and a sparse low energy spectrum. This constrains the OPE c…
Snowmass White Paper: The Analytic Conformal Bootstrap
Thomas Hartman, Dalimil Mazac, David Simmons-Duffin +1
The analytic conformal bootstrap is an array of techniques to characterize, constrain, and solve strongly interacting quantum field theories using symmetries, causality, unitarity,…
