I will argue that novel (highly nonclassical) quantum extremal surfaces
play a crucial role in reconstructing the black hole interior even for
isolated, single-sided, non-evaporating black holes (i.e. with no
auxiliary reservoir). Specifically, any code subspace where interior
outgoing modes can be excited will have a quantum extremal surface in
its maximally mixed state. Therefore, the reconstruction of interior
outgoing modes is always exponentially complex. As an application, I
will show how these quantum extremal surfaces geometrize the exponential
complexity of the holographic dictionary as discussed by Bouland,
Fefferman, and Vazirani.
