Quantum theory of black holes.

چکیده
A solvable 2-dimensional conformally invariant midi-superspace model for black holes is obtained by imposing spherical symmetry in 4-dimensional conformally invariant Einstein gravity. The Wheeler-DeWitt equation for the theory is solved exactly to obtain the unique quantum wave functional for an isolated black hole with fixed mass. By suitably relaxing the boundary conditions, a non-perturbative ansatz is obtained for the wave functional of a black hole interacting with its surroundings.

Towards a Full Quantum Theory of Black Holes
This review gives an introduction into various attempts to understand the quantum nature of black holes. The first part focusses on thermodynamics of black holes, Hawking radiation, and the interpretation of entropy. The second part is devoted to the detailed treatment of black holes within canonical quantum gravity. The last part adds a brief discussion of black holes in string theory and quan...

We find multiple relations between extremal black holes in string theory and 2-and 3-qubit systems in quantum information theory. We show that the entropy of the axion-dilaton extremal black hole is related to the concurrence of a 2-qubit state, whereas the entropy of the STU black holes, BPS as well as non-BPS, is related to the 3-tangle of a 3-qubit state. We relate the 3-qubit states with th...
متن کاملTHE QUANTUM PHYSICS OF BLACK HOLES: Results from String Theory
We review recent progress in our understanding of the physics of black holes. In particular, we discuss the ideas from string theory that explain the entropy of black holes from a counting of microstates of the hole, and the related derivation of unitary Hawking radiation from such holes.
متن کاملQuantum Black Holes in Heterotic String Vacua
N = 2 supersymmetric quantum black holes in the heterotic S-T -U model are presented. In particular three classes of axion-free quantum black holes with half the N = 2, D = 4 supersymmetries unbroken are considered. First, these quantum black holes are investigated at generic points in moduli space. Then “linearized” non-abelian black holes are considered, which can occur at critical points of ...
متن کاملQuantum States of Black Holes
I review the recent progress in providing a statistical foundation for black hole thermodynamics. In the context of string theory, one can now identify and count quantum states associated with black holes. One can also compute the analog of Hawking radiation (in a certain low energy regime) in a manifestly unitary way. Both extremal and nonextremal black holes are considered, including the Schw...
متن کاملQuantum gravity corrections for Schwarzschild black holes
We consider the matrix theory proposal describing 11-dimensional Schwarzschild black holes. We argue that the Newtonian potential between two black holes receives a genuine long-range quantum gravity correction, which is finite and can be computed from the supergravity point of view. In this large-distance limit, the black hole will be treated as a massive pointlike object. The supergravity res...
