# Black holes in the quantum universe

## TL;DR

This paper explores how quantum black holes can be reconciled with quantum mechanics, focusing on information transfer during decay and potential observational signatures in gravitational wave data.

## Contribution

It introduces a parameterized framework for minimal interactions that transfer information from quantum black holes to their environment.

## Key findings

- Proposes a model for information transfer in quantum black holes.
- Suggests observational signatures in gravitational wave and interferometric data.
- Highlights the importance of minimal departure from standard physics.

## Abstract

A succinct summary is given of the problem of reconciling observation of black hole-like objects with quantum mechanics. If quantum black holes behave like subsystems, and also decay, their information must be transferred to their environments. Interactions that accomplish this with `minimal' departure from a standard description are parameterized. Possible sensitivity of gravitational wave or very long baseline interferometric observations to these interactions is briefly outlined.
