Final-State Condition And Dissipative Quantum Mechanics

TL;DR

This paper proposes a mechanism inspired by quantum dissipation to ensure the uniqueness of the black-hole final state, addressing unitarity in black-hole evaporation within a UV-complete theory.

Contribution

It introduces a novel dissipation-based approach to guarantee a unique black-hole final state, linking quantum mechanics and black-hole physics.

Findings

Final-state uniqueness can be achieved through dissipation mechanisms.

The approach connects quantum dissipation with black-hole information paradox.

Provides a new perspective on unitarity in black-hole evaporation.

Abstract

Unitarity demands that the black-hole final state (what remains inside the event horizon at complete evaporation) must be unique. Assuming a UV theory with infinitely many fields, we propose that the uniqueness of the final state can be achieved via a mechanism analogous to the quantum-mechanical description of dissipation.
