Abstract

This review article discusses the technical derivation and components of the ER=EPR conjecture [arXiv:1306.0533] by Susskind and Maldacena, starting with the mathematical derivation of Einstein-Rosen wormhole solution in general relativity, building on the Schwarzschild metric to arrive at the Eddington-Finklestein and Kruskal-Szekeres coordinates, constructing a Penrose diagram demonstrating the quadripartite model of spacetime. Finally, we introduce elementary ideas from quantum entanglement (EPR) and connect them to the Ryu Takayanagi Formulate [arXiv:hep-th/0603001], and to the Susskind-Maldacena hypothesis of ER=EPR [arXiv:1412.8483]
