- Abstract: We explore the implications of stable gravitational orbits around an AdS
black hole for the boundary conformal field theory. The orbits are long-lived
states that eventually decay due to gravitational radiation and tunneling. They
appear as narrow resonances in the heavy-light OPE when the spectrum becomes
effectively continuous due to the presence of the black hole horizon.
Alternatively, they can be identified with quasi-normal modes with small
imaginary part in the thermal two-point function. The two pictures are related
via the eigenstate thermalisation hypothesis. When the decay effects can be
neglected the orbits appear as a discrete family of double-twist operators. We
investigate the connection between orbits, quasi-normal modes, and double-twist
operators in detail. Using the corrected Bohr-Sommerfeld formula for
quasi-normal modes, we compute the anomalous dimension of double-twist
operators. We compare our results to the prediction of the light-cone
bootstrap, finding perfect agreement where the results overlap. We also compute
the orbit decay time due to scalar radiation and compare it to the tunneling
rate. Perturbatively in spin, in the light-cone bootstrap framework
double-twist operators appear as a small fraction of the Hilbert space which
violate the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis, a phenomenon known as
many-body scars. Nonperturbatively in spin, the double-twist operators become
long-lived states that eventually thermalize. We briefly discuss the connection
between perturbative scars in holographic theories and known examples of scars
in the condensed matter literature.

The behavior of quantum entanglement during scattering is identical to the behavior of initially classically correlated photons up to a constant factor equal to two.
Our dedicated experiment with photons confirms these results and explains the "Puzzle of Decoherence" observed recently.

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.

Discrete time crystals (DTCs) refer to a novel many-body steady state that spontaneously breaks the discrete time-translational symmetry in a periodically-driven quantum system.
We study DTCs in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) bouncing resonantly on an oscillating mirror, using a two-mode model derived from a standard quantum field theory.
We find that according to this two-mode model, the discrete time crystal survives for times out to at least 250,000 driving periods.

We derive the rate of decoherence of a dark-matter-Schrodinger-cat-state (DMSCS) within a nonrelativistic approximation.
We find that if the probe particle and/or the DMSCS's velocity dispersion is slow, then the rate of decoherence of the phase is exponentially suppressed.
As applications, we find that diffuse galactic axions with superposed phases are robust against decoherence, while dense boson stars and regions near black hole horizons are not.

The entanglement harvesting protocol is an operational way to probe vacuum entanglement.
Using this protocol, it is demonstrated that while the transition probability of an individual atom is unaffected by the presence of a gravitational wave, the entanglement harvested by two atoms depends sensitively on the frequency of the gravitational wave.
This suggests that the entanglement signature left by a gravitational wave may be useful in characterizing its properties, and potentially useful in exploring the gravitational-wave memory effect and gravitational-wave induced decoherence.

We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit.
We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront.
The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
