M theory as a matrix model: A Conjecture
- T. Banks, W. Fischler, S. Shenker, L. Susskind
- Physics
- 7 October 1996
We suggest and motivate a precise equivalence between uncompactified 11-dimensional M theory and the N={infinity} limit of the supersymmetric matrix quantum mechanics describing D0 branes. The…
The world as a hologram
- L. Susskind
- Physics
- 15 September 1994
According to ’t Hooft the combination of quantum mechanics and gravity requires the three‐dimensional world to be an image of data that can be stored on a two‐dimensional projection much like a…
Invasion of the giant gravitons from Anti-de Sitter space

- 9 March 2000
It has been known for some time that the AdS/CFT correspondence predicts a limit on the number of single particle states propagating on the compact spherical component of the AdS × S geometry. The…
Hamiltonian Formulation of Wilson's Lattice Gauge Theories
- J. Kogut, L. Susskind
- Physics
- 15 January 1975
Wilson's lattice gauge model is presented as a canonical Hamiltonian theory. The structure of the model is reduced to the interactions of an infinite collection of coupled rigid rotators. The…
Cool horizons for entangled black holes
- J. Maldacena, L. Susskind
- Physics
- 3 June 2013
General relativity contains solutions in which two distant black holes are connected through the interior via a wormhole, or Einstein‐Rosen bridge. These solutions can be interpreted as maximally…
Complexity, action, and black holes
- Adam R. Brown, Daniel A. Roberts, L. Susskind, B. Swingle, Ying Zhao
- Physics
- 15 December 2015
In an earlier paper "Complexity Equals Action" we conjectured that the quantum computational complexity of a holographic state is given by the classical action of a region in the bulk (the…
Holographic Complexity Equals Bulk Action?
- Adam R. Brown, Daniel A. Roberts, L. Susskind, B. Swingle, Ying Zhao
- PhysicsPhysical Review Letters
- 9 May 2016
The hypothesis that black holes are the fastest computers in nature is discussed and the conjecture that the quantum complexity of a holographic state is dual to the action of a certain spacetime region that is called a Wheeler-DeWitt patch is illustrated.
Fast Scramblers
- Y. Sekino, L. Susskind
- Computer Science
- 15 August 2008
The problem of how fast a quantum system can scramble (thermalize) information, given that the interactions are between bounded clusters of degrees of freedom is considered, and it is conjecture that black holes are the fastest scramblers in nature.
The Holographic bound in anti-de Sitter space
- L. Susskind, E. Witten
- Physics
- 19 May 1998
The correspondence between string theory in Anti-de Sitter space and super Yang Mills theory is an example of the Holographic principle according to which a quantum theory with gravity must be…
Complexity and Shock Wave Geometries
- D. Stanford, L. Susskind
- Mathematics
- 10 June 2014
In this paper we refine a conjecture relating the time-dependent size of an Einstein-Rosen bridge (ERB) to the computational complexity of the dual quantum state. Our refinement states that the…
