Black holes: eliminating information or illuminating new physics?

S Chakraborty, K Lochan - Universe, 2017 - mdpi.com
Black holes, initially thought of as very interesting mathematical and geometric solutions of
general relativity, over time, have come up with surprises and challenges for modern …

Entanglement harvesting between two inertial Unruh-DeWitt detectors from nonvacuum quantum fluctuations

D Barman, S Barman, BR Majhi - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
It is a well-known fact that, in recent times, entanglement harvesting from the quantum field is
being rigorously investigated further in flat and different curved backgrounds. The usually …

Unruh Dewitt probe of late time revival of quantum correlations in Friedmann spacetimes

A Dhanuka, K Lochan - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Unruh DeWitt (UDW) detectors are important constructs in studying the dynamics of quantum
fields in any geometric background. Curvature also plays an important role in setting up the …

Unequal time commutators in Friedmann universes: deterministic evolution of massless fields

K Lochan - General Relativity and Gravitation, 2022 - Springer
We analyze minimally coupled massless scalar field in a Friedmann (FRW) universe in
conformal co-ordinates to model the evolution of tensor perturbations and study the structure …

Generalized Unruh effect: A potential resolution to the black hole information paradox

A Chen - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We generalize the vacuum-Unruh effect to arbitrary excited states in the Fock space and find
that the Unruh mode at the horizon induces coherent excitation on the canonical …

Unruh-DeWitt detector responses for complex scalar fields in de Sitter spacetime

MS Ali, S Bhattacharya, K Lochan - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We derive the response function for a comoving, pointlike Unruh-DeWitt particle
detector coupled to a complex scalar field ϕ, in the (3+ 1)-dimensional cosmological de …

Information retrieval from black holes

K Lochan, S Chakraborty, T Padmanabhan - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
It is generally believed that, when matter collapses to form a black hole, the complete
information about the initial state of the matter cannot be retrieved by future asymptotic …

Extracting information about the initial state from the black hole radiation

K Lochan, T Padmanabhan - Physical Review Letters, 2016 - APS
The crux of the black hole information paradox is related to the fact that the complete
information about the initial state of a quantum field in a collapsing spacetime is not …

[HTML][HTML] Are non-vacuum states much relevant for retrieving shock wave memory of spacetime?

BR Majhi - Physics Letters B, 2020 - Elsevier
Shock wave gives back reaction to spacetime and the information is stored in the memory of
background. Quantum memory effect of localised shock wave on Minkowski metric is …

Glimpse of Quantum Gravitons post the Last Scattering Surface

A Dhanuka, K Lochan - arXiv preprint arXiv:2212.09784, 2022 - arxiv.org
In the cosmological settings, Quantum Gravity effects are typically understood to be limited
towards very early phase of the universe, namely in the pre-inflationary era, with limited …
