On the Observability of Quantum Information Radiated from a Black Hole

We propose a resolution to the black-hole information-loss paradox: in one formulation of physical theory, information is preserved and macroscopic causality is violated; in another, causality is preserved and pure states evolve to mixed states. However, no experiments can be performed that would distinguish these two descriptions. We explain how this could work in practice; a key ingredient is the suggested quantum-chaotic nature of black holes.
