Mode-Invisibility as a non-Destructive Probe of Entangled QUBIT-CAT States
Paulina Corona-Ugalde, Marvellous Onuma-Kalu, Robert B. Mann
We investigate the dynamics for a two level atomic system entangled to coherent states using the recently developed mode invisibility technique. Using a quantum 2-level probe, we d…
Gravity is not a Pairwise Local Classical Channel
Natacha Altamirano, Paulina Corona-Ugalde, Robert B. Mann +1
It is currently believed that there is no experimental evidence on possibly quantum features of gravity or gravity-motivated modifications of quantum mechanics. Here we show that s…
Geons and the Quantum Information Metric
Musema Sinamuli, Robert B. Mann
We investigate the proposed duality between a quantum information metric in a $\mbox{CFT}_{d+1}$ and the volume of a maximum time slice in the dual $\mbox{AdS}_{d+2}$ for topologic…
Thermodynamics of hairy black holes in Lovelock gravity
Robie A. Hennigar, Erickson Tjoa, Robert B. Mann
We perform a thorough study of the thermodynamic properties of a class of Lovelock black holes with conformal scalar hair arising from coupling of a real scalar field to the dimens…
Purification in Rapid Repeated Interaction Systems
Daniel Grimmer, Robert B. Mann, Eduardo Martin-Martinez
We investigate the open dynamics of a quantum system when it is rapidly repeatedly updated by a quantum channel. Specifically, we analyze when this dynamics can purify the system.…
Critical points in Lovelock Black Holes
Antonia M. Frassino, Robert B. Mann, Fil Simovic
We review some of the results obtained by introducing a thermodynamic pressure via the cosmological constant in a class of higher curvature theories known as Lovelock gravity. In p…
Conformal Complex Scalar Singlet Extensions of the Standard Model: Symmetry Breaking Patterns and Phenomenology
Zhi-Wei Wang, Frederick S. Sage, T. G. Steele +2
We consider a conformal complex singlet extension of the Standard Model with a Higgs portal interaction. Two different scenarios depending on whether the global U(1) symmetry is br…
Black holes in Einsteinian cubic gravity
Robie A. Hennigar, Robert B. Mann
Using numerical and perturbative methods, we construct the first examples of black hole solutions in Einsteinian cubic gravity and study their thermodynamics. Focusing first on fou…
Thermodynamic Volume of Cosmological Solitons
Saoussen Mbarek, Robert B. Mann
We present explicit expressions of the thermodynamic volume inside and outside the cosmological horizon of Eguchi-Hanson solitons in general odd dimensions. These quantities are ca…
Charged Rotating AdS Black Holes with Chern-Simons coupling
Mozhgan Mir, Robert B. Mann
We obtain a perturbative solution for rotating charged black holes in 5-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory with a negative cosmological constant. We start from a smal…
Horizon Thermodynamics from Einstein's Equation of State
Devin Hansen, David Kubiznak, Robert Mann
By regarding the Einstein equations as equation(s) of state, we demonstrate that a full cohomogeneity horizon first law can be derived in horizon thermodynamics. In this approach b…
Role of evaporation in gravitational collapse
Valentina Baccetti, Robert B. Mann, Daniel R. Terno
We investigate the possibility that quantum effects responsible for black hole radiation do not allow for hori- zon crossing of gravitationally collapsing matter in a finite time a…
Superfluid Black Holes
Robie A. Hennigar, Robert B. Mann, Erickson Tjoa
We present what we believe is the first example of a "-line" phase transition in black hole thermodynamics. This is a line of (continuous) second order phase transitions which i…
Black hole chemistry: thermodynamics with Lambda
David Kubiznak, Robert B. Mann, Mae Teo
We review recent developments on the thermodynamics of black holes in extended phase space, where the cosmological constant is interpreted as thermodynamic pressure and treated as…
The equivalence principle and QFT: Can a particle detector tell if we live inside a hollow shell?
Keith K. Ng, Robert B. Mann, Eduardo Martin-Martinez
We show that a particle detector can distinguish the interior of a hollow shell from flat space for switching times much shorter than the light-crossing time of the shell, even tho…
Canonical reduction for dilatonic gravity in 3+1 dimensions
T. C. Scott, Xiangdong Zhang, R. B. Mann +1
We generalize the 1+1-dimensional gravity formalism of Ohta and Mann to 3+1 dimensions by developing the canonical reduction of a proposed formalism applied to a system coupled wit…
Emergent dark energy via decoherence in quantum interactions
Natacha Altamirano, Paulina Corona-Ugalde, Kiran Khosla +2
In this work we consider a recent proposal in which gravitational interactions are mediated via classical information and apply it to a relativistic context. We study a toy model o…
Unitarity, Feedback, Interactions -- Dynamics Emergent from Repeated Measurements
Natacha Altamirano, Paulina Corona-Ugalde, Robert B. Mann +1
Motivated by the recent efforts to describe the gravitational interaction as a classical channel arising from continuous quantum measurements, we study what types of dynamics can e…
Open dynamics under rapid repeated interaction
Daniel Grimmer, David Layden, Robert B. Mann +1
We investigate the emergent open dynamics of a quantum system that undergoes rapid repeated unitary interactions with a sequence of ancillary systems. We study in detail how decohe…
Criticality and Surface Tension in Rotating Horizon Thermodynamics
Devin Hansen, David Kubiznak, Robert B. Mann
We study a modified horizon thermodynamics and the associated criticality for rotating black hole spacetimes. Namely, we show that under a virtual displacement of the black hole ho…
Holographic equation of state in fluid/gravity duality
Andres Anabalon, Dumitru Astefanesei, Robert Mann
We establish a precise relation between mixed boundary conditions for scalar fields in asymptotically anti de Sitter spacetimes and the equation of state of the dual fluid. We prov…
Universality of P-V Criticality in Horizon Thermodynamics
Devin Hansen, David Kubiznak, Robert B. Mann
We study P-V criticality of black holes in Lovelock gravities in the context of horizon thermodynamics. The corresponding first law of horizon thermodynamics emerges as one of the…
Quantum reference frames associated with non-compact groups: the case of translations and boosts, and the role of mass
Alexander R. H. Smith, Marco Piani, Robert B. Mann
Quantum communication without a shared reference frame or the construction of a relational quantum theory requires the notion of a quantum reference frame. We analyze aspects of qu…
Quantum Circuit Model for a Uniformly Accelerated Mirror
Daiqin Su, C. T. Marco Ho, Robert B. Mann +1
We develop a quantum circuit model describing unitary interactions between quantum fields and a uniformly accelerated object, and apply it to a semi-transparent mirror which unifor…
