Cool horizons for entangled black holes

J. Maldacena, L. Susskind

Short summary

Two distant black holes connected by a wormhole can be interpreted as an entangled EPR pair, suggesting similar bridges for more general entangled states and offering resolutions to the AMPS(S) and firewall paradoxes.

Key points

  • Wormhole solutions connect distant black holes, interpretable as entangled EPR pairs.
  • Similar wormhole bridges may exist for more general entangled states.
  • This framework allows formulation and resolution of AMPS(S) paradoxes.
  • Potential resolutions for firewall paradoxes are suggested.

Abstract

Abstract General relativity contains solutions in which two distant black holes are connected through the interior via a wormhole, or Einstein‐Rosen bridge. These solutions can be interpreted as maximally entangled states of two black holes that form a complex EPR pair. We suggest that similar bridges might be present for more general entangled states. In the case of entangled black holes one can formulate versions of the AMPS(S) paradoxes and resolve them. This suggests possible resolutions of the firewall paradoxes for more general situations.
