Entanglement entropy, the Ryu-Takayanagi prescription, and conformal maps
We define and explore the concepts underpinning the Ryu-Takayanagi prescription for entanglement entropy in a holographic theory. We begin by constructing entanglement entropy in finite-dimensional quantum systems, and defining the boundary at infinity of a bulk spacetime. This is sufficient for a n...
