We then examine the information loss problem and some possible approaches to its resolution. Finally, we study some proposed experiments which may be able to provide experimental signatures of black holes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-03-20T22:01:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "04.60.-m", "04.70.-s" ], "keywords": [ "black hole thermodynamics", "black hole entropy", "quantum gravity theories", "information loss problem", "experimental signatures" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Springer", "journal": "Commun.
