Modelling non-paradoxical loss of information in black hole evaporation

TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel approach to the black hole information paradox by applying modified quantum theories involving spontaneous wave-function collapse, offering a self-consistent resolution that avoids information loss paradox.

Contribution

It introduces an innovative application of collapse models to black hole physics, providing a new perspective on information preservation during black hole evaporation.

Findings

Collapse models can be adapted to black hole scenarios

The approach offers a consistent resolution to the information paradox

Loss of information is no longer paradoxical in this framework

Abstract

We give general overview of a novel approach, recently developed by us, to address the issue black hole information paradox. This alternative viewpoint is based on theories involving modifications of standard quantum theory, known as "spontaneous dynamical state reduction" or "wave-function collapse models" which were historically developed to overcome the notorious foundational problems of quantum mechanics known as the "measurement problem". We show that these proposals, when appropriately adapted and refined for this context, provide a self-consistent picture where loss of information in the evaporation of black holes is no longer paradoxical.
