We review recent progress on the information paradox. We explain why exponentially small
correlations in the radiation emitted by a black hole are sufficient to resolve the original …

A bstract We present a doubly holographic prescription for computing entanglement entropy
on a gravitating brane. It involves a Ryu-Takayanagi surface with a Dirichlet anchoring …

Asymptotic Causal Diamonds (ACDs) are a natural flat space analogue of AdS causal
wedges, and it has been argued previously that they may be useful for understanding bulk …

The confinement/deconfinement transition in gauge theory plays important roles in physics,
including the description of thermal phase transitions in the dual gravitational theory. Partial …

A bstract We present a novel framework for simulating matrix models on a quantum
computer. Supersymmetric matrix models have natural applications to superstring/M-theory …

A bstract We propose a new framework for simulating U (k) Yang-Mills theory on a universal
quantum computer. This construction uses the orbifold lattice formulation proposed by …

A bstract We study the matrix quantum mechanics of two free hermitian N× N matrices
subject to a singlet constraint in the microcanonical ensemble. This is the simplest example …

A bstract In the weak coupling limit of SUN Yang-Mills theory and the O (N) vector model,
explicit state counting allows us to demonstrate the existence of a partially deconfined …

A bstract We argue that the confined and deconfined phases in gauge theories are
connected by a partially deconfined phase (ie SU (M) in SU (N), where M< N, is deconfined) …

We describe how the general mechanism of partial deconfinement applies to large-$ N $
QCD and the partially-deconfined phase inevitably appears between completely-confined …
