Disrupting Entanglement of Black Holes

We use holography to study sensitive dependence on initial conditions in strongly coupled field theories.  Specifically, we mildly perturb a thermofield double state by adding a small number of quanta on one side.  If these quanta are released a scrambling time in the past, they destroy the local two-sided correlations present in the unperturbed state.  The corresponding bulk geometry is a two-sided AdS black hole, and the key effect is the blueshift of the early inflating quanta relative to the t=0 slice, creating a shock wave.
