Hi all, Next week, İnci Anali will talk about “A Quantum Circuit Model for Black Hole Evaporation”; see below for the abstract. The talk will take place on Monday at 15:00 in HIT K52. Best, Ladina %%%%%%%%% Title: A Quantum Circuit Model for Black Hole Evaporation Abstract: In 1974, Stephen Hawking applied quantum field theory to the curved spacetime surrounding a black hole's event horizon and found that black holes evaporate, leading to the black hole information paradox. The currently accepted central dogma of black hole physics says that a black hole is nothing different than an ordinary quantum system from the outside point of view. A consequence is that black hole evaporation, like any other quantum process, should be unitary. In this talk, we will build a quantum circuit that describes this process and discuss compatibility of this fundamental quantum picture with the effective semiclassical picture and the conditions necessary for going in between the two pictures using our model.
