Cool horizons for entangled black holes

Juan Maldacena, Leonard Susskind

Abstract

General relativity contains solutions in which two distant black holes are connected through the interior via a wormhole, or Einstein-Rosen bridge. These solutions can be interpreted as maximally entangled states of two black holes that form a complex EPR pair. We suggest that similar bridges might be present for more general entangled states. In the case of entangled black holes one can formulate versions of the AMPS(S) paradoxes and resolve them. This suggests possible resolutions of the firewall paradoxes for more general situations.

    • One of the most important papers in this field is [0]. (As is common in science, it built on a long history of nearby ideas, e.g. [1].) An important calculation done around this idea is presented in [2], in which remarkable progress is made on Hawking's black hole information…

    • The links to the original papers: older one: http://arxiv.org/abs/1005.3035v1 recent one: http://arxiv.org/abs/1306.0533 Very cool. The paper suggests a connection between the non-local properties of EPR pairs and the non-local properties of wormholes that connect distant…
