abstract

Recent work has highlighted the deep connection between quantum information and spacetime geometry. Bousso and Shahbazi-Moghaddam (Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 231301 (2022)) proved that ``hyperentropic'' regions -- where entropy exceeds the area bound -- inevitably lead to singularity formation. In this work, we explore the converse implication: does the thermodynamic consistency of such singularities require them to be hidden? We answer in the affirmative, establishing a Quantum Weak Cosmic Censorship principle governed by Generalized Entropy. This provides a semiclassical mechanism for censorship which forbids naked singularities. Since Quantum Weak Cosmic Censorship is a semiclassical statement, it is more robust than the classical Weak Cosmic Censorship showing naked singularities are forbidden in nature even if quantum effects are taken into account.
