Description

The AdS/CFT duality has been extremely useful in understanding quantum gravity. Tensor networks are a toy model of holography that have provided valuable lessons that have been imported to AdS/CFT. In particular, random tensor networks have a quantitative connection with fixed-area states in the gravitational path integral. This has allowed for a translation of various tensor network results to gravity that I will discuss, including an understanding of the Renyi entropy, entanglement negativity, entanglement wedges for bulk regions and resolving entropic paradoxes using wormholes.
