Quantum error correction has given us a natural language for the emergence of spacetime, but the black hole interior poses a challenge for this framework: at late times the apparent number of interior degrees of freedom in effective field theory can vastly exceed the true number of fundamental degrees of freedom, so there can be no isometric (i.e. inner-product preserving) encoding of the former into the latter. In this paper we explain how quantum error correction nonetheless can be used to explain the emergence of the black hole interior, via the idea of "non-isometric codes protected by computational complexity". We show that many previous ideas, such as the existence of a large number of "null states", a breakdown of effective field theory for operations of exponential complexity, the quantum extremal surface calculation of the Page curve, post-selection, "state-dependent/state-specific" operator reconstruction, and the "simple entropy" approach to complexity coarse-graining, all fit naturally into this framework, and we illustrate all of these phenomena simultaneously in a soluble model.

Deformed BTZ Radiance and Single Trace $T\bar{T}$ Holography
Long-string emission from rotating λ-deformed BTZ black holes forces a unique origin B-field that matches the value needed for the string spectrum to agree with the Z_w sector of single-trace T T-bar deformed orbifold...

Black hole as a multipartite entangler: multi-entropy in AdS${}_3$/CFT${}_2$
In pure BTZ black-hole states the genuine tripartite multi-entropy grows linearly with subsystem size at high temperature (volume law), peaks at (1/6) of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy plus a universal constant, and c...

Composite AdS geodesics for CFT correlators and timelike entanglement entropy
A bulk extremization prescription produces composite timelike-spacelike geodesics whose complex length exactly matches CFT two-point functions at timelike separation, including behind the BTZ horizon.

On the stabilizer complexity of Hawking radiation
In the PSSY model, the Wigner negativity (stabilizer magic) of Hawking radiation is O(1) before the Page time and grows as sqrt(2/pi) exp((S_max - S_2)/2) afterward; a similar formula is proposed for holographic state...

Certified boundary-magic witness for state-dependent proto-area in a holographic code
Only matter-controlled bond motion yields state-dependent proto-area in a four-qubit holographic code, and a projected stabilizer-Rényi quadratic witness certifies it while total magic does not.

The Baby Universe is Fine and the CFT Knows It: On Holography for Closed Universes
A closed universe in AdS/CFT is not ruled out by recent SWAP-test arguments; the one-dimensional Hilbert space seen from the CFT is external indistinguishability, and CFT data can reconstruct the closed universe's geometry.
