| contents | We investigate the concept of time-like entanglement entropy (tEE) within the framework of holography. We introduce a robust top-down prescription for computing tEE in higher-dimensional QFTs, both conformal and confining, eliminating the ambiguities typically associated with analytic continuation from Euclidean to Lorentzian signatures. We present accurate analytic approximations for tEE and time-like separations in slab geometries. We establish a clear stability criterion for bulk embeddings and demonstrate that tEE serves as a powerful tool for computing CFT central charges, extending and strengthening previous results. Finally, we apply our framework to holographic confining backgrounds, revealing distinctive behaviours like phase transitions. |
