• Abstract: We propose a microscopic quantum description for Hawking radiation as Andreev reflections, which resolves the quantum information paradox at black hole event horizons. The detailed microscopic analysis presented here reveals how a black hole, treated as an Andreev reflecting mirror, provides a manifestly unitary description of an evaporating black hole, expanding our previous analysis presented in [PRD 96, 124011 (2017), PRD 98, 124043 (2018)]; In our analogy, a black hole resolves the information paradox by accepting particles -- pairing them with the infalling Hawking quanta into a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) like quantum ground state -- while Andreev reflecting the quantum information as encoded in outgoing Hawking radiation. The present approach goes beyond the black hole final state proposal by Horowitz and Maldacena [JHEP 02, 008 (2004)], by providing necessary microscopic details which allows us to circumvent important shortcomings of the black hole final state proposal. We also generalize the present Hamiltonian description to make an analogy to the apparent loss of quantum information possible in an Einstein-Rosen bridge, via crossed Andreev reflections.

  The non-isometric holographic model of the black hole interior stands out as a potential resolution of the long-standing black hole information puzzle. We show how Yoshida-Kitaev decoding strategy can be employed in the modified Hayden-Preskill protocol. This study would stimulate more interests to explore black hole information problem on the quantum processors.

• 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.

  Accelerating relativistic mirror has long been recognized as a viable setting where the physics mimics that of black hole Hawking radiation. Chen and Mourou proposed a novel method to realize such a system by traversing an ultra-intense laser through a plasma target with a decreasing density. An international AnaBHEL Collaboration has been formed with the objectives of observing the analog Hawking radiation and shedding light on the information loss paradox.

• A dialog on the fate of information in black hole evaporation [77.34726150561087]
  We present two alternative perspectives for the resolution of Hawking's information puzzle in black hole evaporation. One of them is the central role played by the existence of the interior singularity that we expect to be replaced by a more fundamental quantum gravity formulation. Both views rely on the notion that the standard effective quantum field theoretic perspective would require some deep modifications.

  Recently quantum information contained in Hawking radiation has been calculated, verifying a key aspect of the consistency of black hole evaporation with quantum mechanical unitarity. We review these developments and describe some of the deep open questions in this subject. These include the nature of the black hole interior, potential applications to quantum cosmology, the gravitational explanation of the fine structure of black holes, and the development of further connections to quantum information and laboratory quantum simulation.

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.

We show that, in addition to the Hawking effect at the sonic horizon, quantum fluctuations may result in a sizeable stationary excitation of a quasi-normal mode of the field theory.
