Einstein's Equations From Entanglement

In recent years we have learned that the physics of
quantum information plays a crucial role in the emergence of
spacetime from microscopic degrees of freedom. I will review
the idea that entanglement is the glue which holds spacetime
together and show how Einstein's equations plausibly emerge
from this perspective. One ubiquitous feature of these
dynamical equations is the formation of black holes, so I will
conclude by discussing some new ideas about the nature of
spacetime inside a black hole.
