* Ways of forming the black hole:
S is the log of the number of quantum mechanically distinct ways that
the black hole could have been made, or information lost in the creation of the
black hole; This leads to an estimate of the quantum black hole level spacing.
* Entanglement entropy:
Black-hole entropy is semi-classical, in the sense that it comes from tracing
out over internal degrees of freedom of quantum fields in a classical geometry,
without even backreaction – related to the "brick wall model"
idea; It appears to be proportional to A for fields in the ground
state or in coherent/squeezed states, not in excited states.
* Species problem: The fact that
the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy is independent of the number of particle species,
while entanglement entropy gives a contribution that appears to depend on the
number of species.
