![FIG. 11 Entanglement wedges of the bath region R d before (left) and after (right) the Page time, when EW ð R d Þ has a disconnected island I . Each top figure is simply the bottom figure rotated around the axis. The ' squared ' entanglement wedge EW 2 is always connected. It can be found iteratively as EW ð EW ð R d ÞÞ , or in one step from Eq. (5.8) [42,43]. As in Sec. V C, γ d is a quantum extremal surface, but γ d þ 1 is an ordinary extremal surface.](/paper-figures/f7ddf84786064823bdfa8e164bce841f/gravity-ensemble-duality-figure-11.png)

In the citing paper
“The entropy obtained from this computation is interpreted as the average of the entropy of microscopic states, Spρq [69].”

In the citing paper
“To reinforce the analogy with the evaporating black hole, the coarse-grained state discussed here is equivalent to the coarse-grained state of Hawking radiation, which can in fact be interpreted as an ensemble-averaged state[69].”

In the citing paper
“This discussion is clearly reminiscent of black hole evaporation, see e.g.[66,67,69], in which the growing entropy of the Hawking state (the equivalent of [QFT] in our setting) emerges from averaging the state in each replica separately, whereas the Page curve emerges when including spacetime wormholes, which implement correlated averages among replicas (the equivalent of [EFT] in our discussion).”

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.
