• Abstract: The thermodynamics of ``horizon brightened acceleration radiation'' (HBAR), due to a random atomic cloud freely falling into a black hole in a Boulware-like vacuum, is shown to mimic the thermodynamics of the black hole itself. The thermodynamic framework is developed in its most general form via a quantum optics master equation, including rotating (Kerr) black holes and for any set of initial conditions of the atomic cloud. The HBAR field exhibits thermal behavior at the Hawking temperature and an area-entropy-flux relation that resembles the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. In addition, this general approach reveals:(i) the existence of an HBAR-black-hole thermodynamic correspondence that explains the HBAR area-entropy-flux relation;(ii) the origin of the field entropy from the near-horizon behavior, via conformal quantum mechanics (CQM).

• 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 investigate how the quantum fluctuations from the fields that render the black hole its temperature contribute to its entropy. We show that throughout the flow one can split the quantum field contribution to the entropy into a part coming from the entanglement between field degrees of freedom inside and outside the horizon. A similar conclusion is valid for the Wald entropy part of the total entropy.
