The 2-3 Flavour Symmetry And FCNC Effects In B And Tau Decays, alakabha datta , Professor O'Donnell , University of Toronto — To investigate whether entanglement can be a source of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, we compute the entanglement entropy of quantum fields in the background of a black hole, by tracing over their degrees of freedom inside its horizon. We then examine whether this entropy is proportional to its horizon area, for various choice of states of the quantum field. We also try to identify the location of degrees of freedom which give rise to entanglement entropy.
