Journal ArticleDOI
Black Holes: Complementarity or Firewalls?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the following three statements cannot all be true: (i) Hawking radiation is in a pure state, (ii) the information carried by the radiation is emitted from the region near the horizon, with low energy effective field theory valid beyond some microscopic distance from the horizon.

Journal ArticleDOI
Replica Wormholes and the Entropy of Hawking Radiation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the discrepancy between the von Neumann entropy as calculated by Hawking and the requirements of unitarity is fixed by including new saddles in the gravitational path integral.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bulk Locality and Quantum Error Correction in AdS/CFT
TL;DR: In this article, the authors point out a connection between the emergence of bulk locality in AdS/CFT and the theory of quantum error correction and suggest a tensor network calculation that may settle the issue.
Journal ArticleDOI
The entropy of bulk quantum fields and the entanglement wedge of an evaporating black hole
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effect of bulk quantum effects on quantum extremal surfaces (QESs) and the resulting entanglement wedge in a simple two-boundary 2d bulk system defined by Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity coupled to a 1+1 CFT.
