SUMMARY

Leonard Susskind's lecture, "Entanglement is not Enough," presented at KITP in October 2014, addresses the intricate relationship between black holes and quantum complexity. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding entanglement beyond its traditional confines, highlighting quantitative calculations that support Susskind's arguments. Despite the significance of the topic, the post has not received adequate acknowledgment within the academic community. The paper serves as a critical resource for those exploring the complexities of black holes and quantum mechanics.

Entanglement is not Enough
Leonard Susskind
(Submitted on 3 Nov 2014)
This is the written version of a lecture given at KITP in Oct 2014 on Black Holes and quantum complexity. I've included (in boldface) various questions that came up during the lecture and discussions the following day, as well as the quantitative calculations that form the basis of the arguments.

It is odd that no one has acknowledged this post. I have Susskind's paper on my e-reader as an enlightening soporific and anodyne to the day's controversies. Thanks.
