Abstract
We quantize JT gravity with matter on the spatial interval with two asymptotically AdS boundaries. We consider the von Neumann algebra generated by the right Hamiltonian and the gravitationally dressed matter operators on the right boundary. We prove that the commutant of this algebra is the analogously defined left boundary algebra and that both algebras are type II factors. These algebras provide a precise notion of the entanglement wedge away from the semiclassical limit. We comment on how the factorization problem differs between pure JT gravity and JT gravity with matter.
