Abstract
In a spacetime with asymptotically anti-de-Sitter boundaries, localized bulk events produce characteristic signals at boundary locations that are lightlike from the event. I will describe (thought) experiments that use boundary wavepackets to measure the bulk geometry and bulk scattering amplitudes using these signals, and discuss some new signatures of bulk causality and local dynamics on boundary correlation functions. Based on 2501.13182, 2502.14963.
