A Schrodinger black hole and its entropy

We discuss the conditions under which one can expect to have the usual identification of black hole entropy with the area of the horizon. We then construct an example in which the actual presence of the event horizon on a given hypersurface depends on a quantum event in which a certain quantum variable acquires a value and which occurs in the future of the given hypersurface. This situation indicates that there is something fundamental that is missing in the most popular of the current approaches towards the construction of a theory of quantum gravity, or, alternatively, that there is something fundamental that we do not understand about entropy in general, or at least in its association with black holes.
