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…
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…
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…
Negative energy enhancement in layered holographic conformal field theories
Alex May, Petar Simidzija, Mark Van Raamsdonk
Using a holographic model, we study quantum field theories with a layer of one CFT surrounded by another CFT, on either a periodic or an infinite direction. We study the vacuum ene…
Quantum tasks require islands on the brane
Alex May, David Wakeham
In recent work, it was argued that quantum computations with inputs and outputs distributed in spacetime, or quantum tasks, impose constraints on entanglement in holographic theori…
