Black Hole Information
read the original abstract
Hawking's 1974 calculation of thermal emission from a classical black hole led to his 1976 proposal that information may be lost from our universe as a pure quantum state collapses gravitationally into a black hole, which then evaporates completely into a mixed state of thermal radiation. Another possibility is that the information is not lost, but is stored in a remnant of the evaporating black hole. A third idea is that the information comes out in nonthermal correlations within the Hawking radiation, which would be expected to occur at too slow a rate, or be too spread out, to be revealed by any nonperturbative calculation.

Quantum Maxwell Demon at the Black Hole Horizon: Thermodynamics, Information, and the Equivalence Principle
A quantum Maxwell demon near a black hole horizon loses some work extraction ability for external observers due to information inaccessibility but obeys local thermodynamics and preserves the equivalence principle for...

Classical limit for Dirac fermions with modified action in the presence of the black hole
A covariant model of Dirac fermions with an extra Planck-derived term yields the same Einstein-equation collapse as ordinary GR yet permits numerical trajectories that escape the black hole.
