Abstract:

I will show that wormholes naturally arise as the gravity dual of an average over different states within a single conformal field theory. These wormholes give a simple way to diagnose how typical pure states differ from the thermal density  matrix. Based on work to appear with D. Nikolakopoulou and A. Rotundo.
