Description

In this talk I will take a quantum information perspective of static holography motivated by AdS/CFT yet agnostic of the underlying theory.
This approach follows the recent trend of deriving the geometry of space from the entanglement structure of a critical boundary theory.
I will provide explicit examples of how these properties may be realized by QECCs obtained from tensor network constructions.
A particular driving principle for these constructions will be the subregion-subregion duality and the entanglement wedge hypothesis.
