After turning on an interaction that couples the two boundaries of an eternal BTZ black hole, we find a quantum matter stress tensor with negative average null energy, whose gravitational backreaction renders the Einstein-Rosen bridge traversable. Such a traversable wormhole has an interesting interpretation in the context of ER=EPR, which we suggest might be related to quantum teleportation. However, it cannot be used to violate causality. We also discuss the implications for the energy and holographic entropy in the dual CFT description.

  1. Emergence of the Scrooge Ensemble in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Model

    quant-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 7.5 of 10

    All moments of the projected ensemble in the SYK model exactly coincide with those of the Scrooge ensemble, generated by replica-permutation saddles of the measurement path integral, even at arbitrarily short times.

  2. Elastic stiffness of three-dimensional black holes and wormholes from Liouville line defects

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Shape and mass-density deformations of thin-shell AdS3 black holes and wormholes have stiffness kernels equal to two-point functions of defect-local displacement and mass-density operators, computed from linearized Li...

  3. A de Sitter Anti-Scrambling Algebra

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In a toy model of de Sitter quantum gravity, shockwave time advances break the KMS condition and prevent the Hartle-Hawking state from being a trace on the observer's crossed-product algebra.

  4. Connecting Magic Dynamics in Thermofield Double States to Spectral Form Factors

    quant-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For chaotic all-to-all systems, the stabilizer Rényi entropy of thermofield double states is set by the spectral form factor and saturates through a first-order dynamical transition.

  5. Cosmological pole-skipping, shock waves and quantum chaotic dynamics of de Sitter horizons

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Pole-skipping in Schwarzschild-de Sitter predicts superluminal and imaginary butterfly velocities, confirmed by shock wave analysis, hinting at nonlocal and non-Hermitian dual dynamics.

  6. Size Operator and Spectral Clustering in the Two Coupled SYK Model

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The finite-N spectrum of the two coupled SYK model organizes into operator-size clusters that underlie the conformal towers, revival dynamics, and wormhole-black hole transition.

  7. Imprint of the black hole interior on thermal four-point correlators

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Analytically continuing and smearing thermal four-point correlators turns them into flat-space scattering amplitudes at a bulk point inside the black hole.

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A time-like Janus solution with imaginary deformation parameter is proposed as a holographic toy model of a global quantum quench, with partial consistency checks from CFT one-point functions and late-time entanglemen...

    The paper derives eikonal quasinormal mode frequencies and shock-wave switchback delays in Schwarzschild-de Sitter for arbitrary mass, using static-sphere observers and reflecting boundary conditions.

  11. Traversable wormhole for string, but not for particle

    hep-th 2024-12 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    A two-parameter NS-NS wormhole background admits chiral string solutions that cross the singular boundary surfaces that particles and ordinary strings cannot.

  12. A Dynamical Systems Framework for Reinforcement Learning Safety and Robustness Verification

    cs.AI 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    The claimed RL safety verification framework is absent from the manuscript; the body text is an unrelated high-energy physics paper about de Sitter horizon chaos.
