Syllabus

Nishina Asia Prize 2022 - A discussion with Suvrat Raju
What is Hawking Radiation? Why is it compared with Black-Body Radiation?
What is the principle of unitarity? How does it relate to the Black-Hole information paradox?
What does the word "Information" refer to in the term "Information Paradox"?
Could you elaborate on Hawking's argument for information loss?
Why doesn't a similar paradox arise for ordinary black bodies?
Could you give another example of a process where the final state appears to have lost information but actually preserves it?
What is the current understanding of the Black-Hole information paradox?
What is the scientific contribution for which you are being awarded the 2022 Nishina Prize?
What was the error in Hawking's argument for information loss?
Why is it that information cannot be localized in Quantum Gravity?
Is it Gravity or is it Quantum Mechanics that leads to this loss of locality?
What is the "Island" proposal?
How does your recent work relate to the "Holographic Principle"?
How long have you been working on these topics and could you tell us more about your collaborators?
