Phys. Rev. D 79, 124037 (2009) [7 pages]Black holes, information, and decoherenceReceived 21 March 2009; published 24 June 2009 We investigate the experimental capabilities required to test whether black holes destroy information. We show that an experiment capable of illuminating the information puzzle must necessarily be able to detect or manipulate macroscopic superpositions (i.e., Everett branches). Hence, it could also address the fundamental question of decoherence versus wave function collapse. © 2009 The American Physical Society URL:
