Recent investigations have established an analogy between the entropy of four-dimensional supersymmetric black holes in string theory and entanglement in quantum information theory. Examples include: (1) N=2 STU black holes and the tripartite entanglement of three qubits (2-state systems), where the common symmetry is [SL(2)]{sup 3} and (2) N=8 black holes and the tripartite entanglement of seven qubits where the common symmetry is E{sub 7} superset of [SL(2)]{sup 7}. Here we present another example: N=8 black holes (or black strings) in five dimensions and the bipartite entanglement of three qutrits (3-state systems), where the common symmetry is E{sub 6} superset of [SL(3)]{sup 3}. Both the black hole (or black string) entropy and the entanglement measure are provided by the Cartan cubic E{sub 6} invariant. Similar analogies exist for magic N=2 supergravity black holes in both four and five dimensions.
