Time Evolution of Entanglement Entropy from Black Hole Interiors

abstract
We compute the time-dependent entanglement entropy of a CFT which starts in relatively simple initial states. The initial states are the thermofield double for thermal states, dual to eternal black holes, and a particular pure state, dual to a black hole formed by gravitational collapse. The entanglement entropy grows linearly in time. This linear growth is directly related to the growth of the black hole interior measured along "nice" spatial slices. These nice slices probe the spacelike direction in the interior, at a fixed special value of the interior time. In the case of a two-dimensional CFT, we match the bulk and boundary computations of the entanglement entropy. We briefly discuss the long time behavior of various correlators, computed via classical geodesics or surfaces, and point out that their exponential decay comes about for similar reasons. We also present the time evolution of the wavefunction in the tensor network description.

Hawking radiation entropy follows the Page curve when quantum extremal surfaces are identified with RT/HRT surfaces in a higher-dimensional holographic dual, making the black hole interior part of the radiation's entanglement wedge.
Holographic banners are four-argument on-shell actions that map thermofield double boundary states to future interior semiclassical states and yield BKL mixing timescales in AdS black holes.
Proposes a duality between AdS3 gravity with dS2 branes and CFT2 with non-unitary boundary conditions to realize dS holography via complex saddles and state preparation in unitary AdS/CFT.
Defines tripartite complexity and complexity gap for three-subsystem states and reports that the gap has definite sign across holographic CV, Fisher-Rao, and Krylov measures, suggesting it as a building block for complexity inequalities.
Defines Boltzmann-Wasserstein distance on quantum theories via optimal W2 transport of Boltzmann-weighted spectra, equates it to thermal correlators, and constructs a Schwinger-Keldysh wormhole saddle that reproduces the spectral optimum.
A unitary defect CFT at the wedge corner supplies an auxiliary holographic entropy term that balances area variations and enables stable non-horizon islands in massless ghost-free wedge holography.
Twirled perfect tensor networks achieve computational covariance, bound complexity by the PLC, and obey a lattice Ryu-Takayanagi formula for arbitrary boundary subregions.
A construction assigns pure states to subregions in quantum gravity via partially frozen path integrals and gives a holographic prescription for their entanglement entropy that satisfies consistency conditions and recovers known formulas.
Introduces crosscap quenches in CFTs and holographic models to derive universal entanglement entropy evolution, validated by numerics in spin systems.
In asymptotically AdS black holes with space-like singularities, late-time linear growth of time-like entanglement entropy is governed by a critical extremal surface inside the event horizon, with growth rates bounded by Kasner exponents under null and dominant energy conditions.
Genuine multi-entropy in heavy local quenches in 2D holographic CFTs is kinematically fixed to logarithms of rational functions of time, independent of heavy operator dimension, due to global saddle selection in the geodesic network.
Krylov complexity is a canonical, parameter-independent measure of operator spreading that probes chaotic dynamics to late times and admits a geometric interpretation in holographic duals.
