Abstract
Until 1974, the study of black holes was under the hegemony of Einstein's general relativity. However, that same year, Stephen Hawking incorporated quantum theory and discovered that black holes have temperature, entropy, and evaporate. These three great discoveries marked the birth of what we can now call quantum black holes, as opposed to classic black holes, whose description is based only on general relativity. The present work seeks to provide an introduction to the three great discoveries of Hawking, accessible to undergraduate students of science and engineering.
