It is now generally believed that information is preserved in black-hole evaporation. The evolution of the wave function is determined by a unitary operator, and unitarity implies that the wave function at any instant of time can be used to determine the wave function either in the past or the future. Specifically, in quantum mechanics the state of the system is encoded by its wave function. Therefore, information about the details of the initial state would be permanently lost however, this violates a core precept of both classical and quantum physics-that, in principle, the state of a system at one point in time should determine its value at any other time. Since many different states can have the same mass, charge and angular momentum this suggests that many initial physical states could evolve into the same final state. Hawking's calculation suggests that the final state of radiation would retain information only about the total mass, electric charge and angular momentum of the initial state. The information paradox appears when one considers a process in which a black hole is formed through a physical process and then evaporates away entirely through Hawking radiation. Hawking also argued that the detailed form of the radiation would be independent of the initial state of the black hole, and would depend only on its mass, electric charge and angular momentum. In the 1970s, Stephen Hawking applied the rules of quantum mechanics to such systems and found that an isolated black hole would emit a form of radiation called Hawking radiation.
The theory of general relativity predicts the existence of black holes that are regions of spacetime from which nothing - not even light - can escape.
The black hole information paradox is a puzzle that appears when the predictions of quantum mechanics and general relativity are combined.
