Quantum bit threads.
2021
We give a bit thread prescription that is equivalent to the quantum extremal surface prescription for holographic entanglement entropy. Our proposal is inspired by considerations of bit threads in doubly holographic models, and equivalence is established by proving a generalisation of the Riemannian max-flow min-cut theorem. We explore our proposal's properties, and discuss ways in which islands and spacetime are emergent phenomena from the quantum bit thread perspective.
