Holographic Entanglement Entropy Acknowledgments Introduction I Quantum Entanglement Entanglement in QFT Entanglement entropy in CFT2 Single interval in CFT2 II Holography and entanglement Holographic entanglement entropy. Deriving holographic entanglement proposals Properties of holographic entanglement entropy III Entanglement and quantum dynamics Quantum quenches and entanglement Entanglement in excited states Holographic many body systems Entanglement and renormalization IV Quantum Gravity Prelude: Entanglement builds Geometry Entanglement at large central charge Geometry from entanglement AdS CFT and tensor networks This book provides a comprehensive overview of developments in the field of holographic entanglement entropy. Within the context of the AdS CFT correspondence it is shown how quantum entanglement is computed by the area of certain extremal surfaces. The general lessons one can learn from this connection are drawn out for quantum field theories many body physics and quantum gravity. An overview of the necessary background material is provided together with a flavor of the exciting open questions that are currently being discussed. The book is divided into four main parts. In the first part the concept of entanglement and methods for computing it in quantum field theories is reviewed. In the second part an overview of the AdS CFT correspondence is given and the holographic entanglement entropy prescription is explained. In the third part the time dependence of entanglement entropy in out of equilibrium systems and applications to many body physics are explored using holographic methods. The last part focuses on the connection between entanglement and geometry. Known constraints on the holographic map as well as elaboration of entanglement being a fundamental building block of geometry are explained. The book is a useful resource for researchers and graduate students interested in string theory and holography condensed matter and quantum information as it tries to connect these different subjects linked by the common theme of quantum entanglement
