Abstract

Abstract At the heart of recent progress in AdS/CFT is the question of subregion duality, or entanglement wedge reconstruction: which part(s) of the boundary CFT are dual to a given subregion of the bulk? This question can be answered by appealing to the quantum error correcting properties of holography, and it was recently shown that robust bulk (entanglement wedge) reconstruction can be achieved using a universal recovery channel known as the twirled Petz map. In short, one can use the twirled Petz map to recover bulk data from a subset of the boundary. However, this map involves an averaging procedure over bulk and boundary modular time, and hence it can be somewhat intractable to evaluate in practice. We show that a much simpler channel, the Petz map, is sufficient for entanglement wedge reconstruction for any code space of fixed finite dimension — no twirling is required. Moreover, the error in the reconstruction will always be non-perturbatively small. From a quantum information perspective, we prove a general theorem extending the use of the Petz map as a general-purpose recovery channel to subsystem and operator algebra quantum error correction.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Let M_a be a subalgebra on the code space C with dimension d_code, and N be any noise map. Suppose there exists an optimal recovery map R_opt such that (R_opt • N)(ρ) - ρ_a < δ for all ρ ∈ B(C) and its projection ρ_a onto M_a. Then the Petz map R_τ,N defined using the maximally mixed state τ on the codespace satisfies (R_τ,N • N)(ρ)|_a - ρ_a ≤ d_code √(8δ).

  • The standard form of the Petz map in Eq. (68) suffices to achieve approximate bulk reconstruction.

    “Moving away from the twirled Petz map which involves an averaging over the modular time, it was argued in [187] that the standard form of the Petz map in Eq. ( 68) suffices to achieve approximate bulk reconstruction.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
