Understanding Hawking temperature from quantum entanglement

S. Santhosh Kumar

One of the strong connection between the quantum information
theory and the black hole physics is based on the conjecture of interpreting
entanglement entropy as the black hole entropy, which passed various
numerical tests. In the present talk, we add yet another strong supportive
evidence to this conjecture, that is we numerically show that the
temperature of entanglement is same as the Hawking temperature of black hole
for massless free scalar fields. Also we show the validity of the first law
of black hole mechanics using entanglement entropy and temperature.
