Overview

Delve into the quantum aspects of black holes in this advanced lecture by Juan Maldacena, part of the Kavli Asian Winter School on Strings, Particles and Cosmology. Explore the full Schwarzschild solution, the ER=EPR conjecture, and the AMPS paradox. Examine simple models of 2D gravity and nearly AdS2 gravity, including perturbative quantum corrections. Investigate gravitational interactions between highly boosted particles in flat space and their time delay effects. Analyze chaos in classical and quantum systems, focusing on out-of-time-order correlators and operator growth. Discover why black holes are considered maximally chaotic and how this insight inspired bounds applicable to many-body quantum systems. Engage with complex topics in theoretical physics, including the S-matrix and long-time behavior in chaotic systems.
