Solvable models of quantum black holes: a review on Jackiw–Teitelboim gravity

TG Mertens, GJ Turiaci - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2023 - Springer
We review recent developments in Jackiw–Teitelboim gravity. This is a simple solvable
model of quantum gravity in two dimensions (that arises eg from the s-wave sector of higher …

Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models and beyond: Window into non-Fermi liquids

D Chowdhury, A Georges, O Parcollet… - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2022 - APS
This is a review of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model of compressible quantum many-
body systems without quasiparticle excitations, and its connections to various theoretical …

Traversable wormhole dynamics on a quantum processor

D Jafferis, A Zlokapa, JD Lykken, DK Kolchmeyer… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
The holographic principle, theorized to be a property of quantum gravity, postulates that the
description of a volume of space can be encoded on a lower-dimensional boundary. The …

Quantum chaos and the complexity of spread of states

V Balasubramanian, P Caputa, JM Magan, Q Wu - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We propose a measure of quantum state complexity defined by minimizing the spread of the
wave function over all choices of basis. Our measure is controlled by the “survival amplitude” …

Replica wormholes and the black hole interior

G Penington, SH Shenker, D Stanford… - Journal of High Energy …, 2022 - Springer
A bstract Recent work has shown how to obtain the Page curve of an evaporating black hole
from holographic computations of entanglement entropy. We show how these computations …

Entanglement wedge reconstruction and the information paradox

G Penington - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract When absorbing boundary conditions are used to evaporate a black hole in
AdS/CFT, we show that there is a phase transition in the location of the quantum Ryu …

JT gravity as a matrix integral

P Saad, SH Shenker, D Stanford - arXiv preprint arXiv:1903.11115, 2019 - arxiv.org
We present exact results for partition functions of Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity on two-
dimensional surfaces of arbitrary genus with an arbitrary number of boundaries. The …

Lessons from the information paradox

S Raju - Physics Reports, 2022 - Elsevier
We review recent progress on the information paradox. We explain why exponentially small
correlations in the radiation emitted by a black hole are sufficient to resolve the original …

Transcending the ensemble: baby universes, spacetime wormholes, and the order and disorder of black hole information

D Marolf, H Maxfield - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract In the 1980's, work by Coleman and by Giddings and Strominger linked the physics
of spacetime wormholes to 'baby universes' and an ensemble of theories. We revisit such …

Quantum extremal islands made easy. Part II. Black holes on the brane

HZ Chen, RC Myers, D Neuenfeld, IA Reyes… - Journal of High Energy …, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We discuss holographic models of extremal and non-extremal black holes in
contact with a bath in d dimensions, based on a brane world model introduced in [1]. The …
