Abstract

In this talk I summarize some recent progress in string theory in understanding the entropy of a class of black holes including corrections to the Bekenstein–Hawking formula. The quantum corrected entropy is in precise numerical agreement with the logarithm of the number of microstates once quantum corrections are correctly taken into account.
