In the AdS/CFT correspondence, a subregion of a conformal field theory (CFT) allows for the recovery of a corresponding subregion of the bulk gravity theory known as its entanglement wedge. In some cases, an entanglement wedge contains a locally but not globally minimal surface homologous to the CFT subregion, in which case it is said to contain a python's lunch. It has been proposed that...
It is widely anticipated that a quantized theory of gravity will admit quantum spacetime configurations that are described by a superposition of semiclassical spacetimes. However, in the absence of such a complete theory of quantum gravity, can we learn anything about how such states might behave?
In this talk, I will present a recent operational approach to this problem using a...
