Abstract

We advance a holographic conjecture for the entanglement negativity of bipartite quantum states in (1+1)(1+1)-dimensional conformal field theories in the AdS3/CFT2AdS_3/CFT_2 framework. Our conjecture exactly reproduces the replica technique results in the large central charge limit, for both the pure state described by the CFT1+1CFT_{1+1} vacuum dual to bulk the pure AdS3AdS_3 geometry and the finite temperature mixed state dual to a Euclidean BTZ black hole respectively. The holographic entanglement negativity characterizes the distillable entanglement and reduces to a specific sum of holographic mutual informations. We briefly allude to a possible higher dimensional generalization of our conjecture in a generic AdSd+1/CFTdAdS_{d+1}/CFT_{d} scenario.
