Black Holes as Fast Scramblers
Speaker(s): Yasuhiro Sekino
Abstract: We consider the problem of how fast a quantum system can scramble (thermalize) information, given that the interactions are between bounded clusters of degrees of freedom. Based on previous work, we conjecture: 1) The most rapid scramblers take a time logarithmic in the number of degrees of freedom.... read more

On Energy Extraction from Rotating Black Holes
Speaker(s): Herman Verlinde
Abstract: In this talk, I start with a short review of the available mechanisms for extracting energy from rotating black holes, in particular superradiance and the Blandford-Znajek process. I then describe how these mechanisms may be realized and studied via the AdS/CFT and Kerr/CFT correspondence.
