Constructing and Investigating Modified Black Hole Models with Quantum Corrections

In my recent publication, "Quasiclassical solutions for static quantum black holes," we derive novel nonlocal effects near the horizon of a quantum-corrected black hole. In this talk, I will outline two follow-up papers nearing submission. The first reinterprets this model as a quantum superposition of classical black hole spacetimes with a gaussian distribution of varying masses, broadening the applicability of the model. The second investigates the volume inside the horizon of a related quantum-corrected black hole, with implications for information content/storage. These canonical gravity approaches to constructing and exploring black hole models with quantum corrections are moving in a promising direction towards a theory of quantum gravity, and present a fertile area for further study.
