The paper explores the connection between Einstein-Rosen (ER) bridges and entanglement in black hole systems, suggesting that ER bridges might be present for more general entangled states. The authors argue that the ER bridge is a special kind of EPR correlation where the correlated quantum systems have a weakly coupled Einstein gravity description. They propose that the ER = EPR relation holds, meaning that the ER bridge is a manifestation of the entanglement between two black holes.
Key points include:
1. **Einstein-Rosen Bridges and Entanglement**: The ER bridge is a manifestation of the entanglement between two black holes, which can be interpreted as a maximally entangled state.
2. **Black Hole Information Paradox**: The authors suggest that the ER = EPR relation can resolve the AMPS(S) paradoxes, particularly the firewall paradox, by showing that actions on the radiation can produce a state where the horizon is smooth.
3. **Natural Production of Entangled Black Holes**: Black hole pair creation in a magnetic field naturally produces a pair of black holes in an entangled state.
4. **Different Entangled States and Bridges**: Different entangled states correspond to different ER bridges, and the bridge's nature depends on the specific entanglement pattern.
5. **Growth of the Bridge**: The ER bridge grows over time, becoming increasingly difficult to traverse, which is related to the entanglement growth under time evolution.
6. **Implications for the AMPS Paradox**: The authors use the eternal AdS black hole to demonstrate how the AMPS argument can be resolved, showing that the presence of a firewall depends on the actions of Alice, who controls the boundary conditions.
The paper provides a detailed exploration of the ER = EPR relation and its implications for black hole information and the AMPS paradox, suggesting that the smoothness of black hole horizons can be preserved through entanglement and quantum mechanics.The paper explores the connection between Einstein-Rosen (ER) bridges and entanglement in black hole systems, suggesting that ER bridges might be present for more general entangled states.
