Not all black holes decohere quantum superpositions

Anna Biggs, Stefano Trezzi

We study the decoherence induced by near-extremal charged black holes on quantum systems in their exterior. Specifically, we analyze a thought experiment recently discussed in the…

A melonic quantum mechanical model without disorder

Anna Biggs, Loki L. Lin, Juan Maldacena

We consider a quantum mechanical model involving interacting fermions without disorder that has the same low energy physics as the supersymmetric SYK model. The model is in…

Higher-point correlators in the BFSS matrix model

Anna Biggs, Aidan Herderschee

We investigate higher-point correlators in the BFSS matrix model, a non-conformal theory dual to type IIA string theory, using Witten diagrams and techniques from the amplitudes pr…

Following the state of an evaporating charged black hole into the quantum gravity regime

Anna Biggs

We study the energy probability density function of an evaporating near-extremal charged black hole. At sufficiently low energies, such black holes experience large quantum metric…

A supersymmetric SYK model with a curious low energy behavior

Anna Biggs, Juan Maldacena, Vladimir Narovlansky

We consider = 2, 4 supersymmetric SYK models that have a peculiar low energy behavior, with the entropy going like , where $a \neq…

Scaling similarities and quasinormal modes of D0 black hole solutions

Anna Biggs, Juan Maldacena

We study the gravity solution dual to the D0 brane quantum mechanics, or BFSS matrix model, in the 't Hooft limit. The classical physics described by this gravity solution is invar…
