• Title: What can we learn about islands and state paradox from quantum information theory?
• Authors: Xuanhua Wang, Kun Zhang, Jin Wang
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Recent discovery of the fine-grained entropy formula in gravity succeeded in reconstructing the Page curves that are compatible with unitary evolution. The formula of generalized entropy derived from the gravitational path integration, nevertheless, does not provide concrete insight on how the information comes out from the black hole given that the state of the radiation seems to follow what was given by Hawking. In this paper, we start from a qubit model and provide a quantum informational interpretation of entanglement islands and draw the parallel between the black hole information paradox and the problems of measurements in quantum mechanics. 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. We argue that such interpretation is necessary for a quantum informational model if smooth horizons and bulk reconstruction are assumed, and show how it explains the Page curves of solvable models of 2D gravity. 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.

  In this Letter, we demonstrate that this view can be relaxed in a new postselection model. We investigate information recoverability in a radiating black hole through the non-unitary dynamics that projects the randomly-selected modes from a scrambling unitary. We show that the model has the merit of producing the von Neumann entropy of black holes consistent with the island formula calculation. In this model the Page time gains a new interpretation as the transition point between two channels of information transmission when sufficient amounts of effective modes are annihilated inside the horizon.

We show how Yoshida-Kitaev decoding strategy can be employed in the modified Hayden-Preskill protocol.

  We show limitations on the information recovery from scrambling dynamics with arbitrary Lie group symmetries. We rigorously prove that under the energy conservation law, the error of the information recovery from a small black hole remains unignorably large until it completely evaporates. The relations also provide a unified view of the symmetry restrictions on quantum information processing.
