ABSTRACT

I propose first a simple model for quantum black holes based on a harmonic oscillator representing the black hole horizon covered by Planck length sized squares carrying soft hair. Secondly, I redefine the partition function sum over horizon squares by a sum over black hole stretched horizon constituents which are black holes themselves. From this partition function Hawking radiation and Bekenstein-Hawking entropy law have been predicted. Based on this model I propose that the structures of black holes and spacetime atoms are the same. Requiring consistent quantization for both spacetime and matter, black hole structure is considered for matter particles using a composite model for quarks and leptons.
