Operator growth and black hole formation

Felix M. Haehl, Ying Zhao

When two particles collide in an asymptotically AdS spacetime with high enough energy and small enough impact parameter, they can form a black hole. Motivated by dual quantum circu…

Bouncing inside the horizon and scrambling delays

Gary T. Horowitz, Henry Leung, Leonel Queimada +1

We study charged perturbations of the thermofield double state dual to a charged AdS black hole. We model the perturbation by a massless charged shell in the bulk. Unlike the neutr…

Collisions of localized shocks and quantum circuits

Felix M. Haehl, Ying Zhao

We study collisions between localized shockwaves inside a black hole interior. We give a holographic boundary description of this process in terms of the overlap of two growing per…

Six-point functions and collisions in the black hole interior

Felix M. Haehl, Alexandre Streicher, Ying Zhao

In the eternal AdS black hole geometry, we consider two signals sent from the boundaries into the black hole interior shared between the two asymptotic regions. We compute three di…

Diagnosing collisions in the interior of a wormhole

Felix M. Haehl, Ying Zhao

Two distant black holes can be connected in the interior through a wormhole. Such a wormhole has been interpreted as an entangled state shared between two exterior regions. If Alic…

Size and momentum of an infalling particle in the black hole interior

Felix M. Haehl, Ying Zhao

The future interior of black holes in AdS/CFT can be described in terms of a quantum circuit. We investigate boundary quantities detecting properties of this quantum circuit. We di…

Collision in the interior of wormhole

Ying Zhao

The Schwarzschild wormhole has been interpreted as an entangled state. If Alice and Bob fall into each of the black hole, they can meet in the interior. We interpret this meeting i…

Complexity and Momentum

Leonard Susskind, Ying Zhao

Previous work has explored the connections between three concepts -- operator size, complexity, and the bulk radial momentum of an infalling object -- in the context of JT gravity…

Petz map and Python's lunch

Ying Zhao

We look at the interior operator reconstruction from the point of view of Petz map and study its complexity. We show that Petz maps can be written as precursors under the condition…

A quantum circuit interpretation of evaporating black hole geometry

Ying Zhao

We give a quantum circuit interpretation of evaporating black hole geometry. We make an analogy between the appearance of island for evaporating black hole and the transition from…

The Page curve of Hawking radiation from semiclassical geometry

Ahmed Almheiri, Raghu Mahajan, Juan Maldacena +1

We consider a gravity theory coupled to matter, where the matter has a higher-dimensional holographic dual. In such a theory, finding quantum extremal surfaces becomes equivalent t…

Symmetries Near the Horizon

Henry W. Lin, Juan Maldacena, Ying Zhao

We consider a nearly-AdS gravity theory on the two-sided wormhole geometry. We construct three gauge-invariant operators in NAdS which move bulk matter relative to the dynamica…

The Case of the Missing Gates: Complexity of Jackiw-Teitelboim Gravity

Adam R. Brown, Hrant Gharibyan, Henry W. Lin +3

The Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) model arises from the dimensional reduction of charged black holes. Motivated by the holographic complexity conjecture, we calculate the late-time rate o…

Falling Toward Charged Black Holes

Adam R. Brown, Hrant Gharibyan, Alexandre Streicher +3

The growth of the "size" of operators is an important diagnostic of quantum chaos. In arXiv:1802.01198 [hep-th] it was conjectured that the holographic dual of the size is proporti…

Uncomplexity and Black Hole Geometry

Ying Zhao

We give a definition of uncomplexity of a mixed state without invoking any particular definitions of mixed state complexity, and argue that it gives the amount of computational pow…

Teleportation Through the Wormhole

Leonard Susskind, Ying Zhao

ER=EPR allows us to think of quantum teleportation as communication of quantum information through space-time wormholes connecting entangled systems. The conditions for teleportati…

Complexity and Boost Symmetry

Ying Zhao

We find that the time dependence of holographic complexity is controlled by the Rindler boost symmetry across the horizon. By studying the collision energy experienced by an infall…

Quantum Complexity and Negative Curvature

Adam R. Brown, Leonard Susskind, Ying Zhao

As time passes, once simple quantum states tend to become more complex. For strongly coupled k-local Hamiltonians, this growth of computational complexity has been conjectured to f…

Complexity, action, and black holes

Adam R. Brown, Daniel A. Roberts, Leonard Susskind +2

Our earlier paper "Complexity Equals Action" conjectured that the quantum computational complexity of a holographic state is given by the classical action of a region in the bulk (…

Complexity Equals Action

Adam R. Brown, Daniel A. Roberts, Leonard Susskind +2

We conjecture that the quantum complexity of a holographic state is dual to the action of a certain spacetime region that we call a Wheeler-DeWitt patch. We illustrate and test the…

Maximally localized states and quantum corrections of black hole thermodynamics in the framework of a new generalized uncertainty principle

Yan-Gang Miao, Ying-Jie Zhao, Shao-Jun Zhang

As a generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) leads to the effects of the minimal length of the order of the Planck scale and UV/IR mixing, some significant physical concepts and qu…

Interpretation of the Cosmological Constant Problem within the Framework of Generalized Uncertainty Principle
