Conference

I will give an overview of various recent developments in our understanding of quantum gravity and black holes. In particular, I will focus on (i) the chaotic nature of the quantum gravitational degrees of freedom, (ii) the statistical interpretation of semi-classical gravity and its connection to wormholes, and (iii) the possible role of computational complexity. I will try to connect all of this to famous questions like the information loss paradox and the experience of an infalling observer.

I will discuss our work ("Traversable wormhole dynamics on a quantum processor", Nature) on interrogating a two-dimensional gravity dual quantum system on-chip, and implications on future exploration of this type. I will also address comments/objections raised recently in the literature (https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.15423)
