I'm talking about quantum information, that's stored in/as quantum states, information that can apparently be lost to black holes.

What about annihilation? What happens to the quantum information in a particle and its antiparticle when they annihilate to give rise to a photon pair?

How is information conserved when one form of energy is converted to other? Like how a black hole's gravitational energy is used to create photon pairs near the event horizon, what happens to the information in the gravitational wavepackets (gravitons?) and how is it not lost?

So basically there's no way to understand this conceptually without dealing with the mathematical aspect of it, you mean?

Is it because hawking radiation is quantized? And is the fact that gravity is sometimes referred to as negative energy relevant here?

A black hole evaporates through hawking radiation, what I don't get is the requirement for an energy-negative energy pair production. Since it's the black hole's gravitational energy that's responsible for the pair production, even if one of them escapes, the black hole would lose energy anyway...
