Non-local computation and the black hole interior

Alex May, Michelle Xu

In a two sided black hole, systems falling in from opposite asymptotic regions can meet inside the black hole and interact. This is the case even while the two CFTs describing each…

Constraints on physical computers in holographic spacetimes

Aleksander M. Kubicki, Alex May, David Pérez-Garcia

Within the setting of the AdS/CFT correspondence, we ask about the power of computers in the presence of gravity. We show that there are computations on qubits which cannot be…

Pseudonymization at Scale: OLCF's Summit Usage Data Case Study

Ketan Maheshwari, Sean R. Wilkinson, Alex May +3

The analysis of vast amounts of data and the processing of complex computational jobs have traditionally relied upon high performance computing (HPC) systems. Understanding these a…

The connected wedge theorem and its consequences

Alex May, Jonathan Sorce, Beni Yoshida

In the AdS/CFT correspondence, bulk causal structure has consequences for boundary entanglement. In quantum information science, causal structures can be replaced by distributed en…

Complexity and entanglement in non-local computation and holography

Alex May

Does gravity constrain computation? We study this question using the AdS/CFT correspondence, where computation in the presence of gravity can be related to non-gravitational physic…

Bulk private curves require large conditional mutual information

Alex May

We prove a theorem showing that the existence of "private" curves in the bulk of AdS implies two regions of the dual CFT share strong correlations. A private curve is a causal curv…
