We review applications of string theory to cosmology, from primordial times to the present-
day accelerated expansion. Starting with a brief overview of cosmology and string …

It is for the first time that quantum simulation for high-energy physics (HEP) is studied in the
US decadal particle-physics community planning, and in fact until recently, this was not …

We review recent developments in Jackiw–Teitelboim gravity. This is a simple solvable
model of quantum gravity in two dimensions (that arises eg from the s-wave sector of higher …

A bstract We construct a Type II∞ von Neumann algebra that describes the large N physics
of single-trace operators in AdS/CFT in the microcanonical ensemble, where there is no …

In this review, recent progress on the black hole information problem that involves a new
understanding of how to calculate the entropy of Hawking radiation is described. The review …

A bstract We consider quantum algebras of observables associated with subregions in
theories of Einstein gravity coupled to matter in the GN→ 0 limit. When the subregion is …

A bstract Recent work has shown how to obtain the Page curve of an evaporating black hole
from holographic computations of entanglement entropy. We show how these computations …

A bstract The information paradox can be realized in anti-de Sitter spacetime joined to a
Minkowski region. In this setting, we show that the large discrepancy between the von …

A bstract We consider a gravity theory coupled to matter, where the matter has a higher-
dimensional holographic dual. In such a theory, finding quantum extremal surfaces becomes …

A bstract When absorbing boundary conditions are used to evaporate a black hole in
AdS/CFT, we show that there is a phase transition in the location of the quantum Ryu …
