Quantum Information in Holographic Duality

Understand

We give a pedagogical review of how concepts from quantum information theory build up the gravitational side of the AdS/CFT correspondence.

• The review is self-contained in that it only presupposes knowledge of quantum mechanics and general relativity; other tools--including holographic duality itself--are introduced in the text.
• We have aimed to give researchers interested in entering this field a working knowledge sufficient for initiating original projects.
• The review begins with the laws of black hole thermodynamics, which form the basis of this subject, then introduces the Ryu-Takayanagi proposal, the JLMS relation, and subregion duality.
