Abstract

We construct the Hayden-Preskill protocol by using a system of spin-1/2 particles and demonstrate information flows of this system which can mimic black holes. We first define an analogous black hole AA as a collection of such particles. Second, we take the particles from inside to outside the black hole to define an analogous system of Hawking radiation BB as outside particles. When the black hole and the radiation have the maximum entanglement at the Page time, we take an entangled pair system CC and DD. The particles of CC fall into the black hole while their counterparts of DD remain outside. If we assume rapid mixing of the particle states in the black hole ACA \cup C, can the information of CC rapidly escape from the black hole like a mirror? We numerically show that if we turn on the rapid mixing in the black hole, the original information of CC rapidly escapes from the black hole to outside in the form of the mutual information between BB and DD. On the other hand, if the mixing between AA and CC is not enough, the information escapes slowly. Hence, we explicitly demonstrate the original conjecture of Hayden and Preskill. We emphasize that enough mixing is an essential condition to make the Hayden-Preskill protocol functionally work.
