Overview

The black hole singularity plays a crucial role in formulating Hawking’s information paradox. The global spacetime analysis may be reconciled with unitarity by imposing a final state boundary condition on the spacelike singularity. Motivated by the final state proposal, we explore the effect on final state projection in two-dimensional conformal field theories in our recent paper arXiv:2112.08433. We calculate the time evolution under postselection by employing the real part of pseudo-entropy to estimate the amount of quantum entanglement averaged over histories between the initial and final states. We find that this quantity possesses a Page curve-like behavior.
