Abstract

In this note I will argue that the spacetime vacuum of any gauge theory plays the role of a correlated quantum channel and that the concept of a correlated quantum channel is dual to gravitational memory. The existence of memory in the case of other gauge theories is discussed and a similar duality is identified suggesting that the vacuum of any theory could play such a role. This can play a role in the resolution of the black hole information paradox.
