Supersymmetric black holes are characterized by a large number of degenerate ground states. We argue that these black holes, like other quantum mechanical systems with such a degeneracy, are subject to a phenomenon which is called the geometric or Berry's phase: under adiabatic variations of the background values of the supergravity moduli, the quantum microstates of the black hole mix among themselves. We present a simple example where this mixing is exactly computable, that of small supersymmetric black holes in 5 dimensions.

Spacetime as a quantum circuit

A. Ramesh Chandra, Jan de Boer, Mario Flory, Michal P. Heller, Sergio Hortner, Andrew Rolph

Summary: The proposed finite cutoff regions of holographic spacetimes represent quantum circuits mapping between boundary states at different times, with complexity determined by gravitational action and minimized by optimal circuits. Surfaces of constant scalar curvature play a special role in optimizing quantum circuits.The proposed connection to kinematic space and discussion of possible circuit representations of gravitational action provide further insights.

Random statistics of OPE coefficients and Euclidean wormholes

Alexandre Belin, Jan de Boer

Summary: The study proposes an ansatz for OPE coefficients in chaotic conformal field theories, generalizing the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis and describing heavy operators as random variables with a Gaussian distribution. By applying this ansatz in two dimensions, higher moments of OPE coefficients can be calculated and analyzed, while also relating them to genus-2 partition functions and their squares in the context of AdS(3) Einstein gravity solutions. The research suggests that calculations based on the semi-classical low-energy gravitational theory are primarily affected by the random nature of OPE coefficients, explaining the lack of factorization in partition function products.

On local and integrated stress-tensor commutators

Mert Besken, Jan de Boer, Gregoire Mathys

Summary: In Lorentzian CFTs, general properties of commutators of local operators are discussed, obtained through analytic continuation of the Euclidean operator product expansion. Explicit computations are provided for commutators of stress-tensor components in two and four-dimensional CFTs, along with rederived familiar results and considerations of light-ray operators. An infinite set of well-defined light-ray operators built from the stress-tensor in four-dimensional CFT is defined, maintaining similar properties to their two-dimensional analogues.

Complexity for Conformal Field Theories in General Dimensions

Nicolas Chagnet, Shira Chapman, Jan de Boer, Claire Zukowski

Summary: The study explores the circuit complexity of conformal field theory states in arbitrary dimensions, with circuits moving along a unitary representation of the Lorentzian conformal group. Different choices of distance functions are understood in terms of the geometry of coadjoint orbits of the conformal group. The study explicitly relates circuits to timelike geodesics in anti-de Sitter space, and the complexity metric to distances between these geodesics, extending the method to circuits in other symmetry groups using a group theoretic generalization of coherent states concept.

Charged eigenstate thermalization, Euclidean wormholes and global symmetries in quantum gravity

Alexandre Belin, Jan de Boer, Pranjal Nayak, Julian Sonner

Summary: In this paper, we generalize the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis to systems with global symmetries and present two versions considering microscopic charge conservation and exponentially suppressed violations. These versions agree for correlation functions of simple operators, but differ in the variance of charged one-point functions at finite temperature. Applying these ideas to holography and gravitational low-energy effective theories, we find that Euclidean wormholes predict a non-zero variance for charged one-point functions, which contradicts microscopic charge conservation. This implies that global symmetries in quantum gravity must either be gauged or explicitly broken by non-perturbative effects.

Virasoro entanglement Berry phases

Jan de Boer, Ricardo Espindola, Bahman Najian, Dimitrios Patramanis, Jeremy van Der Heijden, Claire Zukowski

Summary: We study the parallel transport of modular Hamiltonians encoding entanglement properties of a state. In the case of 2d CFT, we find that the parallel transport process corresponds to a symplectic form in Euclidean geometry, which plays an important role in the entanglement wedge.

Carroll Symmetry, Dark Energy and Inflation

Jan de Boer, Jelle Hartong, Niels A. Obers, Watse Sybesma, Stefan Vandoren

Non-Gaussianities in the statistical distribution of heavy OPE coefficients and wormholes

Alexandre Belin, Jan de Boer, Diego Liska

Summary: The study investigates non-Gaussian corrections to the statistical distribution of heavy-heavy-heavy OPE coefficients in chaotic two-dimensional conformal field theories, finding that these corrections are further exponentially suppressed in the entropy, much like the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis.

OPE statistics from higher-point crossing

Tarek Anous, Alexandre Belin, Jan de Boer, Diego Liska

Summary: New asymptotic formulas for the distribution of OPE coefficients in conformal field theories are presented. These formulas, derived from crossing symmetry, involve products of multiple coefficients and introduce non-gaussianities into the statistical distribution.

Quantum hypothesis testing in many-body systems

Jan de Boer, Victor Godet, Jani Kastikainen, Esko Keski-Vakkuri

Summary: A key task in physics is to determine the state of a system through measurements, with quantum hypothesis testing providing a framework to optimize the process. This involves studying quantum many-body systems and field theory to find optimal measurement strategies. Error estimates in distinguishing similar states involve quantities such as the variance of relative entropy.
