Causality & holographic entanglement entropy

Journal Article Headrick, Matthew ; Hubeny, Veronika E. ; Lawrence, Albion ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We identify conditions for the entanglement entropy as a function of spatial region to be compatible with causality in an arbitrary relativistic quantum field theory. We then prove that the covariant holographic entanglement entropy prescription (which relates entanglement entropy of a given spatial region on the boundary to the area of a certain extremal surface in the bulk) obeys these conditions, as long as the bulk obeys the null energy condition. While necessary for the validity of the prescription, this consistency requirement is quite nontrivial from the bulk standpoint, and therefore provides important additional evidence for the prescription.

Saturation of the quantum null energy condition in far-from-equilibrium systems

Journal Article Ecker, Christian ; Grumiller, Daniel ; van der Schee, Wilke ; ... - Physical Review D

The quantum null energy condition (QNEC) is a new local energy condition that a general quantum field theory (QFT) is believed to satisfy, relating the classical null energy condition (NEC) to the second functional derivative of the entanglement entropy in the corresponding null direction. We present the first series of explicit computations of QNEC in a strongly coupled QFT, using holography. Here we consider the vacuum, thermal equilibrium, a homogeneous far-from-equilibrium quench as well as a colliding system that violates NEC. For the vacuum and thermal phase, QNEC is always weaker than NEC. While for the homogeneous quench QNEC ismore »« less

Modular Hamiltonians for deformed half-spaces and the averaged null energy condition

Journal Article Faulkner, Thomas ; Leigh, Robert G. ; Parrikar, Onkar ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We study modular Hamiltonians corresponding to the vacuum state for deformed half-spaces in relativistic quantum field theories on R ^1,d-1. We show that in addition to the usual boost generator, there is a contribution to the modular Hamiltonian at first order in the shape deformation, proportional to the integral of the null components of the stress tensor along the Rindler horizon. We use this fact along with monotonicity of relative entropy to prove the averaged null energy condition in Minkowski space-time. This subsequently gives a new proof of the Hofman-Maldacena bounds on the parameters appearing in CFT three-point functions. Ourmore »« less

Entanglement conservation, ER=EPR, and a new classical area theorem for wormholes

Journal Article Remmen, Grant N. ; Bao, Ning ; Pollack, Jason - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We consider the question of entanglement conservation in the context of the ER=EPR correspondence equating quantum entanglement with wormholes. In quantum mechanics, the entanglement between a system and its complement is conserved under unitary operations that act independently on each; ER=EPR suggests that an analogous statement should hold for wormholes. We accordingly prove a new area theorem in general relativity: for a collection of dynamical wormholes and black holes in a spacetime satisfying the null curvature condition, the maximin area for a subset of the horizons (giving the largest area attained by the minimal cross section of the multi-wormhole throatmore »« less
