Abstract We advance a holographic conjecture for the entanglement negativity of bipartite quantum states in (1 + 1)-dimensional conformal field theories in the AdS 3 /CF T 2 framework. Our conjecture exactly reproduces the replica technique results in the large central charge limit, for both the pure state described by the CF T 1+1 vacuum dual to bulk the pure AdS 3 geometry and the finite temperature mixed state dual to a Euclidean BTZ black hole respectively. The holographic entanglement negativity characterizes the distillable entanglement and reduces to a specific sum of holographic mutual informations. We briefly allude to a possible higher dimensional generalization of our conjecture in a generic AdS d+1 /CF T d scenario.
