Black hole entropy and quantum information 1

چکیده
We review some recently established connections between the mathematics of black hole entropy in string theory and that of multipartite entanglement in quantum information theory. In the case of N = 2 black holes and the entanglement of three qubits, the quartic [SL(2)] 3 invariant, Cayley's hyperdeterminant, provides both the black hole entropy and the measure of tripartite entanglement. In the case of N = 8 black holes and the entanglement of seven qubits, the quartic E 7 invariant of Cartan provides both the black hole entropy and the measure of a particular tripartite entanglement encoded in the Fano plane.

Information Erasure and the Generalized Second Law of Black Hole Thermodynamics
We consider the generalized second law of black hole thermodynamics in the light of quantum information theory, in particular information erasure and Landauer’s principle (namely, that erasure of information produces at least the equivalent amount of entropy). A small quantum system outside a black hole in the Hartle-Hawking state is studied, and the quantum system comes into thermal equilibriu...

متن کاملQuantum Information and Quantum Black Holes
First, the relation between black holes and limitations on information of other systems is developed. After reviewing the relation of entropy to information, we derive the entropy bound, review its applications to cosmology and its extensions to higher dimensions, and discuss why black holes behave as 1-D objects when emitting entropy. We also discuss fundamental limitations on the information ...
متن کاملBlack Hole Entropy and Induced Gravity
In this short essay we review the arguments showing that black hole entropy is, at least in part, “entanglement entropy”, i.e., missing information contained in correlations between quantum field fluctuations inside and outside the event horizon. Although the entanglement entropy depends upon the matter field content of the theory, it turns out that so does the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy A/4h̄Gr...
متن کاملQuantum Corrections to the Bekestein-Hawking entropy of the BTZ Black Hole via Self-Gravitation
Hawking radiation is viewed as a tunnelling process. In this way the effect of selfgravitation gives rise to quantum corrections to the entropy of the (2+1) BTZ black hole. The entropy is proportional to the horizon area and the quantum corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking formula S = AH/4l P are found to be negative.
