• Title: Quantum tasks require islands on the brane
• Authors: Alex May, David Wakeham
• Abstract summary: 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 theories. In this article we extend this work to the context of AdS/BCFT, where an end-of-the-world brane is present in the bulk. We apply this theorem to brane models of black holes, where it relates the formation of islands in the Ryu-Takayanagi formula to causal features of the ambient spacetime.

• Abstract: 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 theories. The resulting constraint was named the connected wedge theorem and can verified by a direct bulk proof using focusing arguments in general relativity. In this article we extend this work to the context of AdS/BCFT, where an end-of-the-world brane is present in the bulk. By considering quantum tasks which exploit information localized to the brane, we find a new connected wedge theorem. We apply this theorem to brane models of black holes, where it relates the formation of islands in the Ryu-Takayanagi formula to causal features of the ambient spacetime. In particular, we find that if the black hole interior is causally connected to the radiation system through the ambient spacetime, then an island forms. For constant tension branes in pure AdS the converse also holds.

  We introduce a generalized quantum measurement description for decay processes of spin-1/2 hyperons. We validate this approach by aligning it with established theoretical calculations. We employ quantum simulation to observe the violation of CHSH inequalities in hyperon decays.

• Theory dependence of black hole interior reconstruction and the extended strong subadditivity [0.0]
  An AdS eternal black hole in equilibrium with a finite temperature bath presents a Hawking-like information paradox. The replica wormhole cures this paradox by introducing a non-trivial entanglement wedge for the bath after Page time. We explicitly analyse the theory dependence of this non-perturbative effect by randomising the boundary conditions of some bulk matter fields.

  The percolation transition is defined through the appearance of the infinite cluster. We show that the exponentially increasing dimensionality of the Hilbert space makes its covering by finite-size hyperspheres inefficient. Our approach to the percolation transition in compact metric spaces may prove useful for its rigorous treatment in other contexts.

• Breakdown of quantum mechanics in gravitational holography [0.0]
  Black hole complementarity is inevitably linked to holography and states that information associated with the collapsed pure state is reflected in the near horizon region. We argue that the information preserving quantum atmosphere of the black hole emerges from hidden variables on its horizon. In AdS/CFT, this would mean that the completion of the semiclassical subalgebra to the complete boundary algebra has to be traced back to the emergent near horizon space structure.

  We apply our approach to analyze the dynamics of a detector in a spacetime generated by a BTZ black hole in a superposition of masses. We find that the detector exhibits signatures of quantum-gravitational effects corroborating Bekenstein's seminal conjecture concerning the quantized mass spectrum of black holes in quantum gravity.

• What can we learn about islands and state paradox from quantum information theory? [10.24376036299883]
  We show that the Page curve can still be realized even if information is lost and the information paradox can be attributed to the measurement problem. Though speculative, the similarities between the black hole information problem and the measurement problem may suggest some link in the origins of the two fundamental issues of distant fields.

• Universality, intertwiners and black hole information [0.0]
  The central question in this article is how information does leak out from black holes. We propose the existence of certain operators whose correlations extend across the black hole atmosphere and range into the interior. We derive the Page curve and argue that information is transferred to the radiation via black hole intertwiners.

• Multidimensional dark space and its underlying symmetries: towards dissipation-protected qubits [62.997667081978825]
  We show that a controlled interaction with the environment may help to create a state, dubbed as em dark'', which is immune to decoherence. To encode quantum information in the dark states, they need to span a space with a dimensionality larger than one, so different states act as a computational basis. This approach offers new possibilities for storing, protecting and manipulating quantum information in open systems.
