Quantum Focusing is a powerful conjecture, which plays a key role in the current proofs of many well-known quantum gravity theorems, including various consistency conditions, and causality constraints in AdS/CFT. I conjecture a (weaker) restricted quantum focusing, which I argue is sufficient to derive all known essential implications of quantum focusing. Subject to a technical assumption, I prove this conjecture on brane-world semiclassical gravity theories which are holographically dual to Einstein gravity in a higher dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime.

  1. Fundamental Complement of a Gravitating Region

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    A gravitating region's hologram is the spacelike complement of the hologram of its fundamental complement, generalizing entanglement-wedge complementarity to arbitrary spacetimes and recovering AdS/CFT.

  2. Tests of restricted Quantum Focusing and a new CFT bound

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    From rQFC, a new CFT bound follows that forbids the QNEC from saturating faster than O(Σ^{d−2}) in near-vacuum states, while rQFC is proven in JT gravity and explicit QFC counterexamples are constructed.
