• Long-range entanglement
• The low energy excitations are described by a theorywhich has the same structure as Einstein’s theoryof special relativity, but with the spin-wave velocityplaying the role of the velocity of light.
• The theory of the critical point has an even largersymmetry corresponding to conformal transforma-tions of spacetime: we refer to such a theory as aCFT3

• Long-range entanglement
• The low energy excitations are described by a theorywhich has the same structure as Einstein’s theoryof special relativity, but with the spin-wave velocityplaying the role of the velocity of light.
• The theory of the critical point has an even largersymmetry corresponding to conformal transforma-tions of spacetime: we refer to such a theory as aCFT3

Quantum Entanglement across a black hole horizon
There is a non-local quantum entanglement between the inside
and outside of a black hole
This entanglement leads to ablack hole temperature
(the Hawking temperature)and a black hole entropy (the Bekenstein entropy)
