The Compton/Schwarzschild duality, black hole entropy and quantum information

Abstract

A new kind of duality has been proposed by Carr related to the quantum description of black holes, the so-called Compton/Schwarzschild duality \cite{Carr:2015nqa}. In this context, a new form for a Generalized Uncertainty Principle has arisen, which must bring us an interesting new route to a quantum description of spacetime. In the present paper, we shall investigate the consequences of the Compton/Schwarzschild duality to black hole entropy. The results found out reinforce an interesting perspective on the relationship between black holes and quantum information theory that has been recently proposed in the literature: that black hole entropy can assume negative values at the final stage of black hole evaporation. Consequently, in the context of the quantum corrections to gravity proposed by the Compton/Schwarschild duality, the final state of a black hole might correspond to a quantum entangled state, in the place of a remnant.
