Black Holes Will Eventually Destroy All Quantum States, Researchers Argue

In 2021, Wald, Satishchandran and Danielson were exploring a paradox brought about when hypothetical observers gather information in this way. They imagined an experimenter called Alice who creates a particle in a superposition. At a later time, she looks for an interference pattern. The particle will only exhibit interference if it hasn’t become too entangled…

Why Do Black Holes Twinkle?

In this illustration, light from a smaller black hole (left) curves around a larger black hole and forms an almost-mirror image on the other side. The gravity of a black hole can warp the fabric of space itself, such that light passing close to the black hole will follow a curved path around it. Caltech-IPAC…

Black Holes More Powerful Than Thought – Magnetic Fields Reach Deeper Into Galaxies

Artist’s conception of Cygnus A, surrounded by the torus of dust and debris with jets launching from its center. Magnetic fields are illustrated trapping dust near the supermassive black hole at the galaxy’s core. This initial study motivated the larger comparison of radio loudness to polarization and was included in the composite data set. Credit:…

Black Holes, Quantum Entanglement and the No-Go Theorem

Suppose someone—let’s call her Alice—has a book of secrets she wants to destroy so she tosses it into a handy black hole. Given that black holes are nature’s fastest scramblers, acting like giant garbage shredders, Alice’s secrets must be pretty safe, right? Now suppose her nemesis, Bob, has a quantum computer that’s entangled with the…
