Description
While there are many fascinating results on quantum black holes and their evaporation in LQG, the focus tends to be on singularity resolution and the structure of the
quantum-extended space-time. Issues of entanglement and recovery of information, that
originally sparked interest in black hole evaporation in the wider physics community, have
not received the attention they deserve. The goal of this talk is to point directions for
future work by the LQG community –especially by researchers who have focused on null
surfaces– to address these issues. The talk is based on recent work with Simone Speziale
(arXiv:2401.15618 and arXiv:2402.17977).
