Quantum Physics
Abstract
In these lectures I give an introduction to the quantum physics of black holes, including recent developments based on quantum information theory such as the firewall paradox and its various cousins. I also give an introduction to holography and the AdS/CFT correspondence, focusing on those aspects which are relevant for the black hole information problem.

v1: a lot of pages and figures. v2: still a lot of pages and figures, now with typos corrected. v3: version accepted to reviews of modern physics. more typo corrections, and a rewrite of section 4.6 for clarity. v4: Dedication to Jacob Bekenstein added, as well as a few references v5: more detailed explanation of Hawking's evaporation rate, minor corrections
