Abstract
Quantum entanglement lies at the heart of quantuminformation theory, with applications to quantumcomputing, teleportation, cryptography andcommunication. In the apparently separate world ofquantum gravity, the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of blackholes has also occupied center stage.Here we describe a correspondence between theentanglement measures of qubits in quantum informationtheory and black hole entropy in string theory.

Reissner-Nordström solution
Static, spherically symmetric four-dimensional line element
ds2 = −e2h(r)dt2 + e2k(r)dr2 + r2(dθ2 + sin2θdφ2). (1.1)

Surface gravity and the area
Besides the mass and the charge which are measured atinfinity there are two other quantities, surface gravity andthe area, measured on the event horizon that are given by
κS =
√M2 −Q2
2M(M +√
M2 −Q2)−Q2, A = 4π(M+
√M2 −Q2)2.
(1.3)The R-N solution has two horizons determined by
r± = M ±√
M2 −Q2. (1.4)
Cosmic censorship: M ≥ |Q|. These black holes havesmooth geometries at the horizon and free-fallingobservers would not feel anything as they fall through thehorizon.

Extremal black holes
“ Extremal” black holes M = |Q|.Two horizons, r+ and r−, coincide and the area reduces to
A = 4πQ2 (1.7)
Therefore the entropy which is proportional to the area iscompletely determined in terms of the charges of theextremal black hole.
TH = 0 (1.8)
Since the Hawking radiation is proportional to thetemperature, one can conclude that the extremal blackholes are stable.

Like the mass, the charge of the black hole is measured atasymptotic region by
Q =1

where S2∞ is a spacelike sphere at infinity and ?F is the
field strength dual.The black hole can also carry magnetic charge

More general black holes
The supergravity theories we shall consider have morethan the one photon of Einstein-Maxwell theory. The(D = 4,N = 2) STU model has 4; the (D = 4,N = 8)model has 28, so the black holes will carry 8 or 56 electricand magnetic charges, respectively.Similarly, the (D = 5,N = 8) black hole and black stringhave 27 electric and 27 magnetic charges, respectively.Both also involve scalar fields.

BPS black holes
The extremal black holes obey generalised mass = chargeconditions.A black hole that preserves some unbrokensupersymmetry (admitting one or more Killing spinors) issaid to be BPS (after Bogomol’nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield)and non-BPS otherwise.All BPS black holes are extremal but extremal black holescan be BPS or non-BPS.

The two qubit system Alice and Bob (where A,B = 0,1) isdescribed by the state
|Ψ〉 = aAB|AB〉= a00|00〉+ a01|01〉+ a10|10〉+ a11|11〉.
The bipartite entanglement of Alice and Bob is given by

Another useful quantity is the local entropy SA, which is ameasure of how entangled A is with the pair BC:
SA = 4det ρA ≡ τA(BC)

LOCC
Local Operations and Classical Communication=LOCCTwo states are said to be LOCC equivalent if and only ifthey may be transformed into one another with certaintyusing LOCC protocols. Reviews of the LOCC paradigmand entanglement measures may be found inPlenio:2007,Horodecki:2007.

Orbits
Two states of a composite quantum system are regardedas LOCC equivalent if they are related by a unitarytransformation which factorizes into separatetransformations on the component parts (Bennett:1999),so-called local unitaries. The Hilbert space decomposesinto equivalence classes, or orbits under the action of thegroup of local unitaries.In the case of n qubits the group of local unitaries is given(up to a global phase) by [SU(2)]n.

SLOCC
Stochastic Local Operations and ClassicalCommunication=SLOCCTwo quantum states are said to be SLOCC equivalent ifand only if they may be transformed into one another withsome non-vanishing probability using LOCC operations(Bennett:1999, Dur:2000). The set of SLOCCtransformations relating equivalent states forms a group(which we will refer to as the SLOCC equivalence group).For n qubits the SLOCC equivalence group is given (up toa global complex factor) by the n-fold tensor product,[SL(2,C)]n, one factor for each qubit (Dur:2000). Note, theLOCC equivalence group forms a compact subgroup of thelarger SLOCC equivalence group.

Complex qubit parameters
For unnormalized three-qubit states, the number ofparameters [Linden and Popescu: quant-ph/9711016]needed to describe inequivalent states or, what amounts tothe same thing, the number of algebraically independentinvariants [Sudbery: quant-ph/0001116] is given by thedimension of the space of orbits

Real qubit parameters
However, for subsequent comparison with the STU blackhole [Duff, Liu and Rahmfeld: hep-th/9508094; Behrndt etal: hep-th/9608059], we restrict our attention to states withreal coefficients aABC .In this case, one can show that there are five algebraicallyindependent invariants: Det a, SA, SB, SC and the norm〈Ψ|Ψ〉 , corresponding to the dimension of

Hence, the most general real three-qubit state can bedescribed by just five parameters.Acin et al: quant-ph/0009107It may conveniently be written

A general static spherically symmetric black hole solutiondepends on 8 charges denoted q0,q1,q2,q3,p0,p1,p2,p3,but the generating solution depends on just 8− 3 = 5parameters [Cvetic and Youm: hep-th/9512127; Cvetic andHull: hep-th/9606193], after fixing the action of the isotropysubgroup [SO(2)]3.

Microscopic analysis
String interpretation:N = 4 supergravity with symmetry SL(2)×SO(6,22) is thelow-energy limit of the heterotic string compactified on T 6.N = 8 supergravity with symmetry E7(7) is the low-energylimit of the Type IIA or Type IIB strings, compactified on T 6
or M-theory on T 7.Black holes are now 0-branes obtained by wrappingp-branes around p of the compactifying circles.

Stringy version
The stringy version of the STU black hole is not uniquesince there are many ways of embedding the STU modelin string/M-theory, but a useful one from our point of view isthat of four D3-branes wrapping the(579), (568), (478), (469) cycles of T 6 (intersecting over astring) with wrapping numbers N0,N1,N2,N3.Klebanov and Tseytlin: hep-th/9604166The wrapped circles are denoted by a cross and theunwrapped circles by a nought as shown in the followingtable:

Fifth parameter
The fifth parameter θ is obtained by allowing the N3 braneto intersect at an angle which induces additional effectivecharges on the (579), (569), (479) cycles[Balasubramanian and Larsen: hep-th/ 9704143;Balasubramanian: hep-th/9712215; Bertolini and Trigiante:hep-th/0002191].The microscopic calculation of the entropy consists oftaking the logarithm of the number of microstates andyields the same result as the macroscopic one [Bertoliniand Trigiante: hep-th/0008201].

Qubit interpretation
To make the black hole/qubit correspondence we associatethe three T 2 with the SL(2)A × SL(2)B × SL(2)C of thethree qubits Alice, Bob, and Charlie. The 8 different cyclesthen yield 8 different basis vectors |ABC〉 as in the lastcolumn of the Table, where |0〉 corresponds to xo and |1〉to ox.We see immediately that we reproduce the five parameterthree-qubit state |Ψ〉:
|Ψ〉 = −N3cos2θ|001〉 − N2|010〉+ N3sinθcosθ|011〉−N1|100〉 − N3sinθcosθ|101〉+ (N0 + N3sin2θ)|111〉.
Note from the Table that the GHZ state describes fourD3-branes intersecting over a string, or groups of 4wrapping cycles with just one cross in common.

IIA and IIB
Performing a T-duality transformation, one obtains a TypeIIA interpretation with zero D6-branes, N0 D0-branes,N1,N2,N3 D4-branes plus effective D2-brane charges,where |0〉 now corresponds to xx and |1〉 to oo.

Summary
Our Type IIB microscopic analysis of the D = 4 black holehas provided an explanation for the appearance of thequbit two-valuedness (0 or 1) that was lacking in theprevious treatments: The brane can wrap one circle or theother in each T 2.To wrap or not to wrap? That is the qubit.The number of qubits is three because of the number ofextra dimensions is six.The five parameters of the real three-qubit state are seento correspond to four D3-branes intersecting at an angle.
