• Abstract: We construct a toy model of an evaporating black hole using approximately local degrees of freedom acting on ``overlapping" qubits in which a version of black hole complementarity arises naturally. The operators corresponding to the radiation and the interior are identified as two distinct representations of the same fundamental algebra, thereby preventing the exact factorization of the Hilbert space into interior and exterior and avoiding the conventional no-cloning violations. We show how this toy model captures several qualitative and quantitative features of black hole evaporation and how the ability to account for this ``overlap" in the entropy calculation leads to the recovery of a Page curve.

• Page Time as a Transition of Information Channels: High-fidelity Information Retrieval for Radiating Black Holes [11.13371546439765]
  In this Letter, we demonstrate that this view can be relaxed in a new postselection model. We investigate information recoverability in a radiating black hole through the non-unitary dynamics that projects the randomly-selected modes from a scrambling unitary. We show that the model has the merit of producing the von Neumann entropy of black holes consistent with the island formula calculation. In this model the Page time gains a new interpretation as the transition point between two channels of information transmission when sufficient amounts of effective modes are annihilated inside the horizon.

  The non-isometric holographic model of the black hole interior stands out as a potential resolution of the long-standing black hole information puzzle. We show how Yoshida-Kitaev decoding strategy can be employed in the modified Hayden-Preskill protocol. This study would stimulate more interests to explore black hole information problem on the quantum processors.

  We report a fermionic lattice-model-type realization of an analogue black hole by using a chain of 10 superconducting transmon qubits with interactions mediated by 9 transmon-type tunable couplers. The quantum walks of quasi-particle in the curved spacetime reflect the gravitational effect near the black hole, resulting in the behaviour of stimulated Hawking radiation.

• Local measures of entanglement in black holes and CFTs [0.0]
  We study the structure and dynamics of entanglement in CFTs and black holes. We calculate the entanglement contour of a state excited by a splitting quench, and find universal results for the entanglement contours of low energy non-equilibrium states in 2d CFTs. We also calculate the contour of a non-gravitational bath coupled to an spatial extremal AdS$ black hole, and find that the contour only has finite support within the bath, due to an island phase transition.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.
