The Laurent phenomenon is the property that the solution to an initial value problem of a discrete equation is expressed as a Laurent polynomial of the initial values. This concept has arisen from the study of cluster algebras, for which it is known that any cluster variable is a Laurent polynomial of the initial cluster variables. In this paper, we leave the connection with cluster algebras aside and study the Laurent phenomenon for its own sake. We will explain that most of the discrete bilinear equations that appear in the field of integrable systems exhibit this phenomenon and we shall discuss its relation to integrability. Finally, we shall introduce a technique for calculating the algebraic entropies relying on this phenomenon. For reasons of brevity we shall omit most proofs of the theorems we present.
