Wave Packets in AdS/CFT Correspondence
Abstract: In this paper, we construct a general bulk wave packet in the AdS/CFT correspondence. This wave packet can be described both in bulk and CFT descriptions. Then, we compute the time evolution of the energy density of this wave packet state on the vacuum in the CFT picture of $AdS_3/CFT_2$. We find that the energy density of the wave packet is localized in two points, which means that the bulk wave packet corresponds to two light-like particle-like objects in the CFT picture. Our result implies that the entanglement wedge reconstruction given in [1] is invalid.
