Abstract

Physics - High Energy Physics - Theory
What do the typical entangled states of two black holes look like? Do they contain firewalls? We approach these questions constructively, providing ensembles of states which densely explore the black hole Hilbert space. None of the states contain firewalls. On the contrary, they contain very long Einstein-Rosen (ER) caterpillars: wormholes with large numbers of matter inhomogeneities. Distinguishing these ensembles from the typical entangled states of the black holes is hard. We quantify this by deriving the correspondence between a microscopic notion of quantum randomness and the geometric length of the wormhole. This formalizes a "complexity = geometry'' relation.
