In this paper we describe the structure of extremal stationary spherically symmetric black-hole solutions in the STU model of D=4, N=2 supergravity in terms of four-qubit systems. Our analysis extends the results of previous investigations based on three qubits. The basic idea facilitating this four-qubit interpretation is the fact that stationary solutions in D=4 supergravity can be described by dimensional reduction along the time direction. In this D=3 picture the global symmetry group SL(2,R){sup x3} of the model is extended by the Ehlers SL(2,R) accounting for the fourth qubit. We introduce a four-qubit state depending on the charges (electric, magnetic, and Newman-Unti-Tamburino), the moduli, and the warp factor. We relate the entanglement properties of this state to different classes of black-hole solutions in the STU model. In the terminology of four-qubit entanglement extremal black-hole solutions correspond to nilpotent, and nonextremal ones to semisimple states. In arriving at this entanglement-based scenario the role of the four algebraically independent four-qubit SL(2,C) invariants is emphasized.
