Would Black Holes Be Coherent Under Quantum Mechanics?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the question of whether black holes can maintain quantum coherence, a concept critical to quantum computing. Participants highlight that the primary challenge in quantum computing is maintaining quantum coherence, which refers to the preservation of quantum states without decoherence. However, the conversation concludes with the acknowledgment that without a comprehensive theory of quantum gravity, such as string theory or loop quantum gravity, this question remains unanswerable.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum coherence and decoherence
  • Familiarity with quantum computing principles
  • Basic knowledge of black hole physics
  • Awareness of quantum gravity theories, such as string theory
NEXT STEPS
  • Research quantum coherence in quantum computing
  • Explore theories of quantum gravity, focusing on string theory
  • Study the implications of decoherence in quantum systems
  • Investigate the relationship between black holes and quantum mechanics
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, quantum computing researchers, and anyone interested in the intersection of quantum mechanics and black hole physics.

TL;DR
I just wanna know if Black Holes would be quantumly coherent.
I just want to know if Black Holes would be quantumly coherent.

What do you mean by "quantumly coherent"?
 
As in whether or not they'd maintain quantum coherence; for example, quantum computers' main obstacle is maintaining quantum coherence. By maintaining coherence I just meant not decohering.

We don't even have a theory of quantum gravity with which to model this, so this question is not answerable.
