abstract
In this review we first introduce the general methods to calculate the entanglement entropy for free fields, within the Euclidean and the real time formalisms. Then we describe the particular examples which have been worked out explicitly in two, three and more dimensions.

A hierarchy of approximations to the mutual information in CFTs is derived from modular flow and two-point functions of primaries, providing a high-precision formula for arbitrary ball separations that supersedes previous long-distance expansions.
Constructs a manifestly diagonal-BRST-invariant Schwinger-Keldysh path integral for open non-Abelian gauge theories with arbitrary physical initial states, yielding Ward-Takahashi-Slavnov-Taylor identities and a Keldysh BRST symmetry for the Open EFT.
Self-interactions in scalar and gauge theories suppress gravitational particle production in a quench modeling cosmic expansion, as computed with tensor networks.
An improved heat kernel framework with phase-factor reconstruction computes symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy for charged systems and derives a cMERA flow equation that agrees with CFT and holographic calculations.
C, F and A theorems are proven in de Sitter using strong subadditivity of entanglement entropy, de Sitter invariance, and the Markov property of CFT for RG flows from UV CFTs.
A neutral current protocol on the lattice in the massive Thirring model yields a weak signal exactly matching a coarse-grained current correlator, with extracted energy scaling quadratically with measurement strength, identifying the neutral sector shared with the continuum.
A position-space discretization on a cylinder approximates the modular operator for one and two double cones in the 1+1D massive Majorana field, showing nontrivial mass dependence and reduced bilocal terms at higher masses.
Entanglement revivals in evaporating black holes survive only when radiation intervals are larger than a critical length set by the exponential of the black-hole scrambling time.
Genuine multi-entropy in heavy local quenches in 2D holographic CFTs is kinematically fixed to logarithms of rational functions of time, independent of heavy operator dimension, due to global saddle selection in the geodesic network.
In this fuzzy-sphere matrix model the largest Lyapunov exponent drops to zero at finite temperature, respecting the Maldacena-Shenker-Stanford bound while entanglement shows fast scrambling.
Modular-flow generators for celestial CFT and Klein CFT are obtained as linear combinations of global SL(2,C)/SO(2,2) and supertranslation generators that preserve interval endpoints.
High velocity enhances holographic entanglement entropy in charged plasmas, with thermal effects dominating at high speeds and velocity becoming dominant in the ultrarelativistic regime.
Lecture notes surveying entanglement entropy in QFT and holography, emphasizing physical aspects and the Ryu-Takayanagi formula.
