Quantum Gravity from Quantum Computation: Applications

Abstract

This talk reviews the recent proposal to construct a theory of quantum gravity based on quantum computation, and presents applications of the theory, including:

• Black hole evaporation and the quantum behavior of horizons and singularities
• The holographic principle and the quantum geometric limit
• The emergence of classical spacetime and
• Quantum cosmology
