Abstract
In this talk we will present details of quantum extremal surface computations in a simple setup, demonstrating the role of entanglement islands in resolving entropy paradoxes in gravity. The setup involves eternal AdS2 black holes in thermal equilibrium with auxiliary bath systems. We will also describe the extension of this setup to higher dimensions using Randall-Sundrum branes
