The Black Hole Information Paradox
Abstract
After a brief reminscence about work with K. Sato 25 years ago on the monopole problem and inflation, a discussion is given of the black hole information paradox. It is argued that, quite generally, it should be anticipated that the states behind a horizon should be correlated with states outside the horizon, and that this quantum mechanical entanglement is the key to understanding unitarity in this context. This should be equally true of cosmologies with horizons, such as de Sitter space, or of eternal black holes, or of black holes formed by gravitational collapse.
