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. We discuss tensor networks as a visualization tool and analyze various network architectures in detail. Next, several modern concepts and techniques are discussed: Renyi entropies and the replica trick, differential entropy and kinematic space, modular Berry phases, modular minimal entropy, entanglement wedge cross sections, bit threads, and others. We discuss the extent to which bulk geometries are fixed by boundary entanglement entropies, and analyze the relations such as the monogamy of mutual information, which boundary entanglement entropies must obey if a state has a semiclassical bulk dual. We close with a discussion of black holes, including holographic complexity, firewalls and the black hole information paradox, islands, and replica wormholes.

  1. Temporal Entanglement from Twist Correlators in 2d Conformal Field Theory and Holography

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Timelike entanglement entropy in 2d CFT is defined by time-ordered twist correlators, whose holographic saddles are complex geodesics with smallest real length, and whose imaginary part counts causal-diamond crossings...

  2. Holographic Learning from Fermionic Spectra: Application to Strange Metal Phenomenology

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Neural ODEs learn that normalized low-T cuprate PLL spectra are well described by conformal-to-AdS2 black holes with nearly vanishing gauge potential, while thermodynamics remain invisible to the massless probe.

  3. Holography and Kinematic Space for Gravitational Sub-regions in AdS

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper proposes a kinematic space for any subregion of vacuum AdS, whose geodesic 'PEE threads' uniformly cover the subregion and yield tensor-network models that reproduce Ryu-Takayanagi entropy and realize surfac...

  4. On decoding the string from interfaces in 2d conformal field theories

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Stringy vibrations of an AdS3 junction between two thermal CFTs map to half-sided conformal transformations, producing perfectly reflected wavepackets, and are readable from interval entanglement entropy even at zero tension.

  5. Temporal Entanglement from Holographic Entanglement Entropy

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Holographic timelike entanglement entropy is defined by analytically continuing all candidate extremal surfaces through the light cone and selecting the one with smallest real part of the area.

  6. Evaporation and fate of covariant quantum black holes

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For a covariant LQG black-hole metric, Hawking mass-loss rates depend on emitted-particle spin and deviate from Schwarzschild rates only for sub-Planckian masses.

  7. Junctions, strings, clocks and gravitational memory in three dimensional dS space

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Transient closed-string fluctuations in dS3 are shown order by order to be encoded in gravitational junction shifts at I±, with the monotonic time shift forming an emergent clock.
