• Title: Second law of black hole thermodynamics
• Authors: Koji Azuma, Go Kato
• Abstract summary: If simple entropy in the Bekenstein-Hawking area law for a Schwarzschild black hole is replaced with 'negative' quantum conditional entropy, the first law for black hole mechanics is resolved. Here, with the no-hair conjecture, we derive the perfect picture of a second law of black hole thermodynamics for any black hole from the modified area law. If this is confirmed, the modified area law could be to the first example of fundamental equations in physics which cannot be described without the concept of quantum information.

• Abstract: If simple entropy in the Bekenstein-Hawking area law for a Schwarzschild black hole is replaced with 'negative' quantum conditional entropy, which quantifies quantum entanglement, of positive-energy particles of the black hole relative to its outside, a paradox with the original pair-creation picture of Hawking radiation, the first law for black hole mechanics and quantum mechanics is resolved. However, there was no way to judge experimentally which area law is indeed adopted by black holes. Here, with the no-hair conjecture, we derive the perfect picture of a second law of black hole thermodynamics for any black hole from the modified area law, rather than Bekenstein's generalized one from the original area law. The second law is testable with an event horizon telescope, in contrast to Bekenstein's. If this is confirmed, the modified area law could be exalted to the first example of fundamental equations in physics which cannot be described without the concept of quantum information.

• Generalized Quantum Stein's Lemma and Second Law of Quantum Resource Theories [47.02222405817297]
  A fundamental question in quantum information theory is whether an analogous second law can be formulated to characterize the convertibility of resources for quantum information processing by a single function. In 2008, a promising formulation was proposed, linking resource convertibility to the optimal performance of a variant of the quantum version of hypothesis testing. In 2023, a logical gap was found in the original proof of this lemma, casting doubt on the possibility of such a formulation of the second law.

• Stimulated Emission of Radiation and the Black Hole Information Problem [0.0]
  Black holes not only emit radiation spontaneously, but also respond to infalling matter and radiation by emitting approximate clones of those fields in a stimulated manner. I show how stimulated emission turns the black hole into an almost optimal quantum cloning machine. I speculate about possible observable consequences of stimulated emission of radiation in black holes.

The quantum walks of quasi-particle in the curved spacetime reflect the gravitational effect near the black hole, resulting in the behaviour of stimulated Hawking radiation.

  It is argued that the Schr"odinger equation does not yield a correct description of the quantum-mechanical time evolution of states of isolated (open) systems featuring events. A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schr"odinger equation is formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics.
