Shooting null geodesics into holographic spacetimes

Abstract

We find, in the AdS/CFT, a source on the boundary which generates one wave packet drawing a null geodesic inside the bulk. Once such a wave packet dives into the bulk, it comes back to the boundary after a specific time, at which the expectation value of the corresponding boundary operator finally stands up. Since this behavior strongly reflects the existence of the holographic spacetime, our technique will be helpful in identifying holographic materials.
