Emergent Flat Space from Quantum Entanglement
Tianli Wang,
Harvard University,
I will present a key step toward understanding how flat spacetime emerges from quantum entanglement. Using celestial holography techniques, I construct conformal Rindler modes for a free scalar field. These modes, like ordinary Rindler modes, have support only on the left or right half of spacetime, but in addition they are fully Lorentz covariant. In this basis, I express the Poincaré-invariant Minkowski vacuum as a thermofield–double state, providing a natural connection between the bulk theory and an entangled pair of boundary CFTs.
The talk is in 469 Lauritsen.
