A Quantum Rosetta Stone for the Information Paradox

TL;DR

This paper explores how quantum chaos could be the key to resolving the black hole information paradox within the AdS/CFT framework, linking gravitational turbulence and information retrieval.

Contribution

It proposes that quantum chaos, rather than classical chaos, may unlock understanding of information preservation in black holes via AdS/CFT.

Findings

Quantum chaos could be crucial for understanding information retrieval.

Gravitational turbulence impacts correlation functions in AdS/CFT.

Classical chaos complicates information decoding in black hole physics.

Abstract

The black hole information loss paradox epitomizes the contradictions between general relativity and quantum field theory. The AdS/CFT correspondence provides an implicit answer for the information loss paradox in black hole physics by equating a gravity theory with an explicitly unitary field theory. Gravitational collapse in asymptotically AdS spacetimes is generically turbulent. Given that the mechanism to read out the information about correlations functions in the field theory side is plagued by deterministic classical chaos, we argue that quantum chaos might provide the true Rosetta Stone for answering the information paradox in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence.
