Harvesting Entanglement from the Black Hole Vacuum
Laura J. Henderson, Robie A. Hennigar, Robert B. Mann +2
We implement the entanglement harvesting protocol, in which two Unruh-DeWitt detectors become entangled through local interactions with a quantum field, for the first time in the v…
Unruh thermal hadronization and the cosmological constant
Antonia M. Frassino, Marcus Bleicher, Robert B. Mann
We use black holes with a negative cosmological constant to investigate aspects of the freeze-out temperature for hadron production in high energy heavy-ion collisions. The two bla…
A classification of open Gaussian dynamics
Daniel Grimmer, Eric Brown, Achim Kempf +2
We introduce a classification scheme for the generators of bosonic open Gaussian dynamics, providing instructive diagrams description for each type of dynamics. Using this classifi…
Breakdown of the Equal Area Law for Holographic Entanglement Entropy
Fiona McCarthy, David Kubiznak, Robert B. Mann
We investigate a holographic version of Maxwell's equal area law analogous to that for the phase transition in the black hole temperature/black hole entropy plane of a charged AdS…
Asymptotically Safe Standard Model via Vector-Like Fermions
Robert Mann, Julia Meffe, Francesco Sannino +3
We construct asymptotically safe extensions of the Standard Model by adding gauged vector-like fermions. Using large number-of-flavour techniques we argue that all gauge couplings,…
Taming an Optical Schroedinger's cat - A quantum non-demolition approach
Marvellous Onuma-Kalu, Kae Nemoto, W. J. Munro +1
An interferometric experiment is described that characterizes an optical cat state in a cavity mode. Our method describes how to measure the amplitude and phase of the different co…
Black Hole Squeezers
Daiqin Su, C. T. Marco Ho, Robert B. Mann +1
We show that the gravitational quasi-normal modes (QNMs) of a Schwarzschild black hole play the role of a multimode squeezer that can generate particles. For a minimally coupled sc…
Over the horizon: distinguishing the Schwarzschild spacetime and the spacetime using an Unruh-DeWitt detector
Keith K. Ng, Robert B. Mann, Eduardo Martin-Martinez
We show that a particle detector can distinguish the geon from the Schwarzschild black hole, even though they differ only by a topological identification beyond the…
Phase structure of complete asymptotically free SU() theories with quarks and scalar quarks
Frederik F. Hansen, Tadeusz Janowski, Kasper Langaeble +4
We determine the phase diagram of complete asymptotically free SU() gauge theories featuring complex scalars and Dirac quarks transforming according to the fundame…
Higher Order Corrections to Holographic Black Hole Chemistry
Musema Sinamuli, Robert B. Mann
We investigate the holographic Smarr relation beyond the large N limit. By making use of the holographic dictionary, we find that the bulk correlates of sub-leading 1/N corrections…
Emergent Dark Energy in Classical Channel Gravity with Matter
Romain Pascalie, Natacha Altamirano, Robert B. Mann
Motivated by the recent increased interest in energy non-conserving models in cosmology, we extend the analysis of the cosmological consequences of the Classical Channel Model of G…
Do event horizons exist?
Valentina Baccetti, Robert B. Mann, Daniel R. Terno
Event horizons are the defining feature of classical black holes. They are the key ingredient of the information loss paradox which, as paradoxes in quantum foundations, is built o…
Relativistic geoids and time dependence: quasilocal frames versus isochronometric surfaces
Marius Oltean, Richard J. Epp, Paul L. McGrath +1
In a recent paper [D. Philipp, V. Perlick, D. Puetzfeld, E. Hackmann, and C. Lämmerzahl, Phys. Rev. D 95, 104037 (2017)], a definition of a general-relativistic geoid, restricted t…
Entanglement harvesting and divergences in quadratic Unruh-DeWitt detectors pairs
Allison Sachs, Robert B. Mann, Eduardo Martin-Martinez
We analyze correlations between pairs of particle detectors quadratically coupled to a real scalar field. We find that, while a single quadratically coupled detector presents no di…
Holographic heat engines: general considerations and rotating black holes
Robie A. Hennigar, Fiona McCarthy, Alvaro Ballon +1
We perform the first study of holographic heat engines where the working material is a rotating black hole, obtaining exact results for the efficiency of a rectangular engine cycle…
Quintessential Quartic Quasi-topological Quartet
Jamil Ahmed, Robie A. Hennigar, Robert B. Mann +1
We construct the quartic version of generalized quasi-topological gravity, which was recently constructed to cubic order in arXiv: 1703.01631. This class of theories includes Lovel…
Planck scale Corrections to the Harmonic Oscillator, Coherent and Squeezed States
Pasquale Bosso, Saurya Das, Robert B. Mann
The Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) is a modification of Heisenberg's Principle predicted by several theories of Quantum Gravity. It consists of a modified commutator betwe…
Sufficient condition for nonexistence of symmetric extension of qudits using Bell inequalities
Meenu Kumari, Shohini Ghose, Robert B. Mann
We analyze the connection between Bell inequality violations and symmetric extendibility of quantum states. We prove that 2-qubit reduced states of multiqubit symmetric pure states…
Horizon avoidance in spherically-symmetric collapse
Valentina Baccetti, Robert B. Mann, Daniel R. Terno
We study collapse of evaporating spherically-symmetric thin dust shells and dust balls assuming that quantum effects are encapsulated in a spherically-symmetric metric that satisfi…
Hairy black holes in cubic quasi-topological gravity
Hannah Dykaar, Robie A. Hennigar, Robert B. Mann
We construct a class of five dimensional black hole solutions to cubic quasi-topological gravity with conformal scalar hair and study their thermodynamics. We find these black hole…
Generalized quasi-topological gravity
Robie A. Hennigar, David Kubiznak, Robert B. Mann
We construct the most general, to cubic order in curvature, theory of gravity whose (most general) static spherically symmetric vacuum solutions are fully described by a single fie…
Cosmological Perturbations in the 5D Holographic Big Bang Model
Natacha Altamirano, Elizabeth Gould, Niayesh Afshordi +1
The 5D Holographic Big Bang is a novel model for the emergence of the early universe out of a 5D collapsing star (an apparent white hole), in the context of Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati…
