A toy model for decoherence in the black hole information problem

Kartiek Agarwal, Ning Bao

We investigate a plausible route to resolving the black hole information paradox by examining the effects of decoherence on Hawking radiation. In particular, we show that a finite…

Cosmological Decoherence from Thermal Gravitons

Ning Bao, Aidan Chatwin-Davies, Jason Pollack +1

We study the effects of gravitationally-driven decoherence on tunneling processes associated with false vacuum decays, such as the Coleman--De~Luccia instanton. We compute the ther…

Bulk Reconstruction Beyond the Entanglement Wedge

Ning Bao, Aidan Chatwin-Davies, Benjamin E. Niehoff +1

We study the portion of an asymptotically Anti de Sitter geometry's bulk where the metric can be reconstructed, given the areas of minimal 2-surfaces anchored to a fixed boundary s…

Multipartite Reflected Entropy

Ning Bao, Newton Cheng

We discuss two methods that, through a combination of cyclically gluing copies of a given -party boundary state in AdS/CFT and a canonical purification, creates a bulk geometry…

Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis and Approximate Quantum Error Correction

Ning Bao, Newton Cheng

The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) is a powerful conjecture for understanding how statistical mechanics emerges in a large class of many-body quantum systems. It has al…

Wormhole Traversability via Quantum Random Walks

Ning Bao, Vincent P. Su, Mykhaylo Usatyuk

In this work we seek to generalize the connection between traversable wormholes and quantum channels. We do this via a connection between traversable wormholes and graph geometries…

Towards a Bit Threads Derivation of Holographic Entanglement of Purification

Ning Bao, Aidan Chatwin-Davies, Jason Pollack +1

We apply the bit thread formulation of holographic entanglement entropy to reduced states describing only the geometry contained within an entanglement wedge. We argue that a certa…

The holographic dual of Rényi relative entropy

Ning Bao, Mudassir Moosa, Ibrahim Shehzad

The relative entropy is a measure of the distinguishability of two quantum states. A great deal of progress has been made in the study of the relative entropy between an excited st…

Towards Bulk Metric Reconstruction from Extremal Area Variations

Ning Bao, ChunJun Cao, Sebastian Fischetti +1

The Ryu-Takayanagi and Hubeny-Rangamani-Takayanagi formulae suggest that bulk geometry emerges from the entanglement structure of the boundary theory. Using these formulae, we buil…

Holographic Tensor Networks in Full AdS/CFT

Ning Bao, Geoffrey Penington, Jonathan Sorce +1

We present a general procedure for constructing tensor networks for geometric states in the Anti-de Sitter/Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence. Given a state in a large…
