Description

The island formula, also known as Quantum Extremal Surface prescription, provides a new perspective on old paradoxes in semi-classical gravity. Gravity in two dimensions is successful in delivering analytically tractable models of semi-classical gravity and therefore provides an arena to test and apply the island formula. I discuss some recent developments in this context that I believe are exciting.
