The Quantum Null Energy Condition, Entanglement Wedge Nesting, and Quantum Focusing
Chris Akers, Venkatesa Chandrasekaran, Stefan Leichenauer +2
We study the consequences of Entanglement Wedge Nesting for CFTs with holographic duals. The CFT is formulated on an arbitrary curved background, and we include the effects of curv…

The Quantum Focusing Conjecture Has Not Been Violated
Stefan Leichenauer
Recent work of Fu, Koeller, and Marolf shows that in dimensions a nonzero Gauss-Bonnet coupling of either sign can lead to a pointwise violation of the Quantum Focusing C…

Local Modular Hamiltonians from the Quantum Null Energy Condition
Jason Koeller, Stefan Leichenauer, Adam Levine +1
The vacuum modular Hamiltonian of the Rindler wedge in any relativistic quantum field theory is given by the boost generator. Here we investigate the modular Hamiltoninan for m…
