Abstract
We review some recent work concerning the classical thermodynamics and
quantum mechanics of charged black holes in generic 2-D dilaton gravi
ty. The main result that has emerged from this work is an intriguing c
onnection between the classical black hole entropy and the imaginary p
art of the WKB phase of energy and charge eigenstates in the correspon
ding quantum theory.
