• Abstract: The conference \emph{Black Holes Inside and Out} marked the 50th anniversary of Hawking's seminal paper on black hole radiance. It was clear already from Hawking's analysis that a proper quantum gravity theory would be essential for a more complete understanding of the evaporation process. This task was undertaken in Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) two decades ago and by now the literature on the subject is quite rich. The goal of this contribution is to summarize a mainstream perspective that has emerged. The intended audience is the broader gravitational physics community, rather than quantum gravity experts. Therefore, the emphasis is on conceptual issues, especially on the key features that distinguish the LQG approach, and on concrete results that underlie the paradigm that has emerged. This is \emph{not} meant to be an exhaustive review. Rather, it is a broad-brush stroke portrait of the present status. Further details can be found in the references listed.

  In quantum gravity theory, a state-dependent gravitational potential introduces nonlinearity into the state evolution. The formalism for understanding the continuous quantum measurement process on the quantum state has been previously discussed using the Schr"odinger picture. In this work, an equivalent formalism using the Heisenberg picture is developed and applied to the analysis of two optomechanical experiment protocols.

• 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.

• A dialog on the fate of information in black hole evaporation [77.34726150561087]
  We present two alternative perspectives for the resolution of Hawking's information puzzle in black hole evaporation. One of them is the central role played by the existence of the interior singularity that we expect to be replaced by a more fundamental quantum gravity formulation. Both views rely on the notion that the standard effective quantum field theoretic perspective would require some deep modifications.
