  The principle of balanced holography, introduced in [1], posits that black
hole information is stored in non-local correlations between the interior and
exterior. Based on this concept, we propose that black hole information
decomposes into elementary units in the form of topological qubits, and is
protected from local sources of decoherence. The topological protection
mechanism ensures that the horizon of an evaporating black hole stays young and
smooth.
