A bstractWe consider a spherical region with a heavy quark in the middle. We compute the extra entanglement entropy due to the presence of a heavy quark both in $ \mathcal{N} $ = 4 Super Yang Mills and in the $ \mathcal{N} $ = 6 Chern-Simons matter theory (ABJM). This is done by relating the computation to the expectation value of a circular Wilson loop and a stress tensor insertion.We also give an exact expression for the Bremsstrahlung function that determines the energy radiated by a quark in the ABJM theory.
