• Title: Replica wormholes and capacity of entanglement
• Authors: Kohki Kawabata, Tatsuma Nishioka, Yoshitaka Okuyama and Kento Watanabe
• Abstract summary: We consider entanglement as a probe of Hawking radiation in a two-dimensional dilaton gravity coupled with conformal matter of large degrees of freedom. A formula calculating the capacity is derived using the gravitational path integral, from which we speculate that the capacity has a discontinuity at the Page time. We show that the capacity of entanglement is saturated by the thermal capacity of the black hole in the high temperature limit.

• Abstract: We consider the capacity of entanglement as a probe of the Hawking radiation in a two-dimensional dilaton gravity coupled with conformal matter of large degrees of freedom. A formula calculating the capacity is derived using the gravitational path integral, from which we speculate that the capacity has a discontinuity at the Page time in contrast to the continuous behavior of the generalized entropy. We apply the formula to a replica wormhole solution in an eternal AdS black hole coupled to a flat non-gravitating bath and show that the capacity of entanglement is saturated by the thermal capacity of the black hole in the high temperature limit.

  We discuss some aspects of the energetics of a quantum Brownian particle placed in a harmonic trap. Based on the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, we analyze two distinct notions of thermally-averaged energy. We generalize our analysis to the case of the three-dimensional dissipative magneto-oscillator.

• Black Hole from Entropy Maximization [0.0]
  One quantum characterization of a black hole motivated by (local) holography and thermodynamics is that it maximizes thermodynamic entropy for a given surface area. We explore this possibility by solving the 4D semi-classical Einstein equation with many matter fields, and find a picture of a black hole. For spherical static highly-excited configurations, we apply local typicality and estimate the entropy including self-gravity to derive its upper bound.

  We study the zero-energy collision of three identical spin-polarized fermions with short-range interactions in one dimension. We derive the expansions of the three-body wave function when the three fermions are far apart or one pair and the third fermion are far apart. We calculate the shifts of energy and of pressure of spin-polarized one-dimensional Fermi gases due to a nonzero $D_F$ and the three-body recombination rate in one dimension.

  We report a fermionic lattice-model-type realization of an analogue black hole by using a chain of 10 superconducting transmon qubits with interactions mediated by 9 transmon-type tunable couplers. 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.

• Information storage and near horizon quantum correlations [0.0]
  We show that the entropy sphere associated with the underlying microstructure has to be necessarily broadened when the fine grained radiation entropy becomes maximal. We argue that the standard thermodynamical description is valid so long the black hole viewed from outside is sufficiently large, radiation escaping into the future null infinity can be described on a smooth spacetime background, and the von Neumann entropy of Hawking radiation evolves unitarily.

• 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.

  We consider relativistic quantum field theory in the presence of an external electric potential in a general curved space-time geometry. We calculate the leading correction due to the curvature of the space-time geometry to the Schr"odinger equation. We then compute the non-vanishing probability of excitation for a hydrogen atom that falls in or is scattered by a general Schwarzschild black hole.

• Probing Hawking radiation through capacity of entanglement [0.7646713951724009]
  We consider the capacity of entanglement in models related with the gravitational phase transitions. In the end of the world brane model of a radiating black hole the capacity has a peak around the Page time. In a moving mirror model describing Hawking radiation the capacity typically shows a discontinuity when the dominant saddle switches between two phases.

  We develop a universal approximation for the Renyi entropies of a pure state at late times in a non-integrable many-body system. For equilibrated pure states in gravity systems, such as those involving black holes, this approximation gives a prescription for calculating entanglement entropies. It provides a derivation of replica wormholes, and elucidates their mathematical and physical origins.
