Description

How large are quantum fluctuations in the location of the black hole horizon? I will describe ongoing work addressing this question, sometimes called the `quantum width' of the black hole horizon. I will connect to recent work by Bousso-Penington and Parikh-Pereira, as well as older work of Marolf, which define different quantum widths for the black hole horizon.
