- Abstract: Recently, Akers et al. proposed a non-isometric holographic map from the
interior of a black hole to its exterior. Within this model, we study
properties of the black hole $S$-matrix, which are in principle accessible to
observers who stay outside the black hole. Specifically, we investigate a
scenario in which an infalling agent interacts with radiation both outside and
inside the black hole. Because the holographic map involves postselection, the
unitarity of the $S$-matrix is not guaranteed in this scenario, but we find
that unitarity is satisfied to very high precision if suitable conditions are
met. If the internal black hole dynamics is described by a pseudorandom unitary
transformation, and if the operations performed by the infaller have
computational complexity scaling polynomially with the black hole entropy, then
the $S$-matrix is unitary up to corrections that are superpolynomially small in
the black hole entropy. Furthermore, while in principle quantum computation
assisted by postselection can be very powerful, we find under similar
assumptions that the $S$-matrix of an evaporating black hole has polynomial
computational complexity.

Black hole entropy turns negative at exponentially low temperatures.
We show that this negativity must happen for any effective theory of quantum gravity with an ensemble description.
Our analysis of low-energy random matrix spectra also explains the origin of spectral gaps in supersymmetric theories.

Each row of the matrix is encoded as a pure state of some quantum system.
The admitted matrix is therefore arbitrary up to the normalization of quantum states of those systems.

We explore a notion of bent sequence attached to the data consisting of an Hadamard matrix of order $n$ defined over the complex $qth$ roots of unity.
In particular we construct self-dual bent sequences for various $qle 60$ and lengths $nle 21.$ construction methods comprise the resolution of systems by Groebner bases and eigenspace computations.

We argue that quantum error-correction, computational complexity, and pseudorandomness are crucial concepts for understanding the black hole interior.
We assume that the Hawking radiation emitted by an old black hole is pseudorandom, meaning that it cannot be distinguished from a perfectly thermal state by any efficient quantum computation acting on the radiation alone.
