• Abstract: In holographic duality an eternal AdS black hole is described by two copies of the boundary CFT in the thermal field double state. This identification has many puzzles, including the boundary descriptions of the event horizons, the interiors of the black hole, and the singularities. Compounding these mysteries is the fact that, while there is no interaction between the CFTs, observers from them can fall into the black hole and interact. We address these issues in this paper. In particular, we (i) present a boundary formulation of a class of in-falling bulk observers; (ii) present an argument that a sharp bulk event horizon can only emerge in the infinite $N$ limit of the boundary theory; (iii) give an explicit construction in the boundary theory of an evolution operator for a bulk in-falling observer, making manifest the boundary emergence of the black hole horizons, the interiors, and the associated causal structure. A by-product is a concept called causal connectability, which is a criterion for any two quantum systems (which do not need to have a known gravity dual) to have an emergent sharp horizon structure.

  We show that a two-level system interacting with a quantum field residing in the spacetime exhibits resonant peaks in its response at certain values of the superposed masses. Our results suggest that deeper insights into quantum-gravitational phenomena may be accessible via tools in relativistic quantum information and curved spacetime quantum field theory.

  In a two sided black hole, systems falling in from opposite regions can meet inside the black hole and interact. Here, we relate these behind the horizon interactions to non-local quantum computations. We obtain a boundary signature for these interior collisions which is stated in terms of the mutual information.

• 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.
