Particle detector in a position-superposed black hole spacetime

quant-ph · 2026-04-13 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

An Unruh-DeWitt detector interacting with a position-superposed BTZ black hole produces outcome probabilities containing a nonclassical contribution that distinguishes quantum superposition from classical mixtures, arising from singularities in the probed spectrum.

The state/defect correspondence

hep-th · 2026-06-10 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Establishes a one-to-one correspondence between states and p-dimensional defects in higher-form Maxwell theories via an extended Kac-Moody algebra generated by conserved charges from mixed anomalies, mapping dressed Wilson-'t Hooft defects to squeezed energy eigenstates.

Toward a worldsheet theory of entanglement entropy

hep-th · 2025-11-20 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A new action for entanglement entropy in AdS3/CFT2 derives gravity equations, reduces to a string worldsheet, reproduces bit threads, and unifies several quantum gravity conjectures.

Quantum chaos and the holographic principle

quant-ph · 2026-04-14 · unverdicted · novelty 1.0

A review of the chaos-assisted holographic correspondence linking the SYK model to 2D JT gravity, including the need for string theory corrections at fine quantum scales.
