Please suggest beginner-level textbooks or lecture notes on the quantum aspects of black holes. I mean Hawking radiation, Blackhole evaporation, entanglement, etc without knowing string theory. I am not familiar with string theory at all at a technical level. I want to learn things leisurely in baby steps.

$\begingroup$ Would you be more precise? By "quantum aspects of black holes", you mean semi-classical ones? string theoretical means of computing the black hole entropy? what aspects of black holes you're exactly interested in? $\endgroup$– Ramiro Hum-SahCommented Nov 12, 2020 at 14:26

$\begingroup$ I suggest you to edit your answer providing details on what exactly you want to know to help others to give good and concrete recommendations. The paper Jerusalem Lectures on Black Holes and Quantum Information is an excellent, modern and pedagogical introductory resource. $\endgroup$– Ramiro Hum-SahCommented Nov 12, 2020 at 14:37

1$\begingroup$ Try Hartman's lecture notes. It assumes some background in GR, QM and QFT though. $\endgroup$– thunderboltCommented Nov 12, 2020 at 16:34

mithusengupta, you have asked a good question as there are a lot great books out there, about the topic. But I would recommend ICTS lectures of Gautum Mandal about Hawking radiation, but even learning from lectures, you should have a prior knowledge of Black holes, for that you should read Chandrasekhar book THE MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF BLACK HOLES. For books, originally, I recommend the book, QUANTUM ASPECTS OF BLACK HOLES of the Springer series of Fundamental theories of Physics. It covers the topics you need. Hope it helps...
