The Quantum Physics of Black Holes: Results from String Theory
arXiv:gr-qc/0105063 · doi:10.1146/annurev.nucl.50.1.153
Abstract
We review recent progress in our understanding of the physics of black holes. In particular, we discuss the ideas from string theory that explain the entropy of black holes from a counting of microstates of the hole, and the related derivation of unitary Hawking radiation from such holes.
