The holographic correspondence predicts that certain strongly coupled quantum systems describe an emergent, higher-dimensional bulk spacetime in which excitations enjoy local dynamics. We consider a general holographic state dual to an asymptotically AdS bulk spacetime, and study boundary correlation functions of local fields integrated against wavepackets. We derive a factorization formula showing that when the wavepackets suitably meet at a common bulk point, the boundary correlators develop sharp features controlled by flat-space-like bulk scattering processes. These features extend along boundary hyperboloids whose shape naturally reveals the bulk geometry. We discuss different choices of operator ordering, which lead to inclusive and out-of-time-ordered amplitudes, as well as fields of various spins and masses.

  1. Imprint of the black hole singularity on thermal two-point functions

    hep-th 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    Thermal two-point functions in holographic AdS black holes receive exponentially small non-perturbative corrections controlled by null geodesics bouncing off the singularity.

  2. Bouncing singularities and thermal correlators on line defects

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Retarded correlators of displacement operators on line defects in holographic thermal CFTs exhibit bouncing singularities that match between interior-sensitive WKB and boundary-only OPE analyses.

  3. Imprint of the black hole interior on thermal four-point correlators

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Analytically continuing and smearing thermal four-point correlators turns them into flat-space scattering amplitudes at a bulk point inside the black hole.

  4. Composite AdS geodesics for CFT correlators and timelike entanglement entropy

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

    In the AdS3/BTZ holographic setup, the expectation value of a scalar primary in a bulk wave-packet state exhibits temperature-dependent exponential decay along the light cone, absent at zero temperature, while the ene...

  6. Observer Time from Causality in Perturbative Quantum Gravity

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A lightbulb-and-mirror protocol defines diffeomorphism-invariant elapsed proper time, and its leading quantum gravity correction makes the time a noncommuting quantum operator.
