Holographic code[1]
Description
Block quantum code whose features serve to model aspects of the AdS/CFT holographic duality and, more generally, quantum gravity.Cousins
- Approximate quantum error-correcting code (AQECC)— Universal subspace approximate error correction is used to model black holes [4].
- Approximate operator-algebra QECC— Properties of holographic codes are often quantified in the Heisenberg picture, i.e., in terms of operator algebras [5–8].
- 2D lattice stabilizer code— 2D lattice stabilizer codes admit a bulk-boundary correspondence similar to that of holographic codes, namely, the boundary Hilbert space of the former cannot be realized via local degrees of freedom [9].
- Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code— GKP codespaces exist in the CFT dual of a particular holographic framework [10,11].

Matrix-model codes are motivated by the Ads/CFT correspondence because it is manifest in continuous non-Abelian gauge theories with large gauge groups [12].
The RG cat code encoder has coarse-graining features reminiscent of holography [7].
Holographic codes whose encoders are holographic tensor networks are holographic tensor-network codes.
CFT codewords lie in the low-energy subspace of a conformal field theory (CFT), e.g., the quantum Ising model at its critical point.
The robustness of KPT codes does not rely on arguments from holographic duality, but such codes do aim to describe interiors of black holes.
