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…
Quantum State Reduction: Generalized Bipartitions from Algebras of Observables
Oleg Kabernik, Jason Pollack, Ashmeet Singh
Reduced density matrices are a powerful tool in the analysis of entanglement structure, approximate or coarse-grained dynamics, decoherence, and the emergence of classicality. It i…
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…
Nonlocal multi-trace sources and bulk entanglement in holographic conformal field theories
Felix M. Haehl, Eric Mintun, Jason Pollack +2
We consider CFT states defined by adding nonlocal multi-trace sources to the Euclidean path integral defining the vacuum state. For holographic theories, we argue that these states…
