After turning on an interaction that couples the two boundaries of an eternal BTZ black hole, we find a quantum matter stress tensor with negative average null energy, whose gravitational backreaction renders the Einstein-Rosen bridge traversable. Such a traversable wormhole has an interesting interpretation in the context of ER=EPR, which we suggest might be related to quantum teleportation. However, it cannot be used to violate causality. We also discuss the implications for the energy and holographic entropy in the dual CFT description.

  1. Holographic Banners

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    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.

  2. The Page curve of Hawking radiation from semiclassical geometry

    hep-th 2019-08 accept novelty 8.0

    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 enta...

    Shape and mass-density deformations of thin-shell AdS3 black holes and wormholes have stiffness kernels equal to two-point functions of defect-local displacement and mass-density operators, computed from linearized Li...

  5. A de Sitter Anti-Scrambling Algebra

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    In a toy model of de Sitter quantum gravity, shockwave time advances break the KMS condition and prevent the Hartle-Hawking state from being a trace on the observer's crossed-product algebra.

  6. How traversable is a traversable wormhole?

    Low-frequency scattering calculations show scalar probes through the MMP wormhole are mostly reflected or trapped at early times with late leakage to half the black-hole cross-section, while charged massless fermions ...

  7. Connecting Magic Dynamics in Thermofield Double States to Spectral Form Factors

    quant-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 7.0

    For chaotic all-to-all systems, the stabilizer Rényi entropy of thermofield double states is set by the spectral form factor and saturates through a first-order dynamical transition.

    AdS exotic compact objects imprint bulk-cone singularities from null geodesics and echoes from trapped waves on CFT Green functions, signaling no horizon.

    In a 2d evaporating black hole model, large boosts create O(1/G_N) gradients in bulk entropy that move the quantum extremal surface, causing the generalized entropy to follow unitary expectations with information disa...

    The traversable wormhole transmission signal in coupled SYK models persists with less than 1.1% variation after 98% random coupling deletion, showing it is controlled by inter-system coupling alone.
