We propose a microscopic quantum description for Hawking radiation as Andreev reflections, which resolves the quantum information paradox at black hole event horizons. The detailed microscopic analysis presented here reveals how a black hole, treated as an Andreev reflecting mirror, provides a manifestly unitary description of an evaporating black hole, expanding our previous analysis presented in [PRD 96, 124011 (2017), PRD 98, 124043 (2018)]; In our analogy, a black hole resolves the information paradox by accepting particles -- pairing them with the infalling Hawking quanta into a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) like quantum ground state -- while Andreev reflecting the quantum information as encoded in outgoing Hawking radiation. The present approach goes beyond the black hole final state proposal by Horowitz and Maldacena [JHEP 02, 008 (2004)], by providing necessary microscopic details which allows us to circumvent important shortcomings of the black hole final state proposal. We also generalize the present Hamiltonian description to make an analogy to the apparent loss of quantum information possible in an Einstein-Rosen bridge, via crossed Andreev reflections.
In 1974 Steven Hawking showed that black holes emit thermal radiation, which eventually causes them to evaporate. The problem of the fate of information in this process is known as the black hole information paradox. It inspired a plethora of theoretical models which, for the most part, assume either a fundamental loss of information or some form of quantum gravity. At variance to the main trends, a conservative approach assuming information retrieval in quantum correlation between Hawking particles was proposed and recently developed within qubit toy-models. Here we leverage modern quantum information to incarnate this idea in a realistic model of quantised radiation. To this end we employ the formalism of quantum Gaussian states together with the continuous-variables version of the quantum marginal problem. Using a rigorous solution to the latter we show that the thermality of all Hawking particles is consistent with a global pure state of the radiation. Surprisingly, we find out that the radiation of an astrophysical black hole can be thermal until the very last particle. In contrast, the thermality of Hawking radiation originating from a microscopic black hole -- which is expected to evaporate through several quanta -- is not excluded, though there are constraints on modes frequencies. Our result support the conservative resolution to the black hole information paradox. Furthermore, it suggests a systematic programme for probing the global state of Hawking radiation.
We give a quantum mechanical description of accelerated relativistic particles in the framework of Coherent States (CS) of the (3+1)-dimensional conformal group SU(2,2), with the role of accelerations played by special conformal transformations and with the role of (proper) time translations played by dilations. The accelerated ground state $tildephi_0$ of first quantization is a CS of the conformal group. We compute the distribution function giving the occupation number of each energy level in $tildephi_0$ and, with it, the partition function Z, mean energy E and entropy S, which resemble that of an Einstein Solid. An effective temperature T can be assigned to this accelerated ensemble through the thermodynamic expression dE/dS, which leads to a (non linear) relation between acceleration and temperature different from Unruhs (linear) formula. Then we construct the corresponding conformal-SU(2,2)-invariant second quantized theory and its spontaneous breakdown when selecting Poincare-invariant degenerated theta-vacua (namely, coherent states of conformal zero modes). Special conformal transformations (accelerations) destabilize the Poincare vacuum and make it to radiate.
Some of the most prominent theoretical predictions of modern times, e.g., the Unruh effect, Hawking radiation, and gravity-assisted particle creation, are supported by the fact that various quantum constructs like particle content and vacuum fluctuations of a quantum field are observer-dependent. Despite being fundamental in nature, these predictions have not yet been experimentally verified because one needs extremely strong gravity (or acceleration) to bring them within the existing experimental resolution. In this Letter, we demonstrate that a post-Newtonian rotating atom inside a far-detuned cavity experiences strongly modified quantum fluctuations in the inertial vacuum. As a result, the emission rate of an excited atom gets enhanced significantly along with a shift in the emission spectrum due to the change in the quantum correlation under rotation. We propose an optomechanical setup that is capable of realizing such acceleration-induced particle creation with current technology. This provides a novel and potentially feasible experimental proposal for the direct detection of noninertial quantum field theoretic effects.
Angular momentum at null infinity has a supertranslation ambiguity from the lack of a preferred Poincare group and a similar ambiguity when the center-of-mass position changes as linear momentum is radiated. Recently, we noted there is an additional one-parameter ambiguity in the possible definitions of angular momentum and center-of-mass charge. We argue that this one-parameter ambiguity can be resolved by considering the generalized BMS charges that are constructed from local 2-sphere-covariant tensors near null infinity; these supertranslation-covariant charges differ from several expressions currently used. Quantizing angular momentum requires a supertranslation-invariant angular momentum in the center-of-mass frame. We propose one such definition of angular momentum involving nonlocal quantities on the 2-sphere, which could be used to define a quantum notion of general-relativistic angular momentum.
