Semi-Classical Field Theory as Decoherence Free Subspaces
Jaime Varela
We formulate semi-classical field theory as an approximate decoherence-free-subspace of a finite-dimensional quantum-gravity hilbert space. A complementarity construction can be re…
Black Holes or Firewalls: A Theory of Horizons
Yasunori Nomura, Jaime Varela, Sean J. Weinberg
We present a quantum theory of black hole (and other) horizons, in which the standard assumptions of complementarity are preserved without contradicting information theoretic consi…
Low Energy Description of Quantum Gravity and Complementarity
Yasunori Nomura, Jaime Varela, Sean J. Weinberg
We consider a framework in which low energy dynamics of quantum gravity is described preserving locality, and yet taking into account the effects that are not captured by the naive…
A Note on (No) Firewalls: The Entropy Argument
Yasunori Nomura, Jaime Varela
An argument for firewalls based on entropy relations is refuted.
Black Holes, Information, and Hilbert Space for Quantum Gravity
Yasunori Nomura, Jaime Varela, Sean J. Weinberg
A coarse-grained description for the formation and evaporation of a black hole is given within the framework of a unitary theory of quantum gravity preserving locality, without dro…
Complementarity Endures: No Firewall for an Infalling Observer
Yasunori Nomura, Jaime Varela, Sean J. Weinberg
We argue that the complementarity picture, as interpreted as a reference frame change represented in quantum gravitational Hilbert space, does not suffer from the "firewall paradox…
