abstract

We apply and extend the theory of universal recovery channels from quantum information theory to address the problem of entanglement wedge reconstruction in AdS/CFT. It has recently been proposed that any low-energy local bulk operators in a CFT boundary region's entanglement wedge can be reconstructed on that boundary region itself. Existing work arguing for this proposal relies on algebraic consequences of the exact equivalence between bulk and boundary relative entropies, namely the theory of operator algebra quantum error correction. However, bulk and boundary relative entropies are only approximately equal in bulk effective field theory, and in similar situations it is known that predictions from exact entropic equalities can be qualitatively incorrect. The framework of universal recovery channels provides a robust demonstration of the entanglement wedge reconstruction conjecture in addition to new physical insights. Most notably, we find that a bulk operator acting in a given boundary region's entanglement wedge can be expressed as the response of the boundary region's modular Hamiltonian to a perturbation of the bulk state in the direction of the bulk operator. This formula can be interpreted as a noncommutative version of Bayes' rule that attempts to undo the noise induced by restricting to only a portion of the boundary, and has an integral representation in terms of modular flows. To reach these conclusions, we extend the theory of universal recovery channels to finite-dimensional operator algebras and demonstrate that recovery channels approximately preserve the multiplicative structure of the operator algebra.

Replica wormholes and the black hole interior

hep-th · 2019-11-27 · conditional · novelty 9.0

Replica wormhole geometries justify the replica trick computation of the Page curve in holographic black hole models and support entanglement wedge reconstruction via the Petz map.

When does a state-dependent proto-area define a bulk geometry?

hep-th · 2026-06-21 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A proto-area family defines a bulk geometry only when it sews through a single boundary-length map, with a gauge-invariant two-jet criterion and BKM–Jacobi matching as necessary and sufficient conditions.

Holographic Tensor Networks as Tessellations of Geometry

hep-th · 2025-12-22 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Holographic tensor networks constructed from PEE-thread tessellations of AdS geometry reproduce the exact Ryu-Takayanagi formula in factorized EPR, perfect-tensor, and random variants.

Connecting Quantum Tomography and Quantum Retrodiction

quant-ph · 2026-06-22 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

The Petz recovery map equals the gradient of the log-likelihood in maximum-likelihood tomography, unifying retrodiction and state reconstruction via a shared iterative procedure.

How to have your wormholes and factorize, too

A modified semiclassical holographic dictionary is used to construct an extended gravitational path integral that factorizes, reproduces the Page curve for entropy, and includes operators for baby universe states.
