Entropy and Area
read the original abstract
The ground state density matrix for a massless free field is traced over the degrees of freedom residing inside an imaginary sphere; the resulting entropy is shown to be proportional to the area (and not the volume) of the sphere. Possible connections with the physics of black holes are discussed.

Entanglement Entropy of a Non-Minimally Coupled Self-Interacting Scalar across a Schwarzschild Horizon at $\mathcal{O}(\alpha)$
The O(α) correction to entanglement entropy of a non-minimally coupled self-interacting scalar across a Schwarzschild horizon is proportional to (1/6 - ξ), with divergences that renormalize Newton's constant while pre...

Real-Time Quantum Dynamics on the Fuzzy Sphere: Chaos and Entanglement
In this fuzzy-sphere matrix model the largest Lyapunov exponent drops to zero at finite temperature, respecting the Maldacena-Shenker-Stanford bound while entanglement shows fast scrambling.
