Description

In order to understand many Quantum information aspects of the Ads/CFT correspondence, tensor network toy models of holography have been a useful and concrete tool. However, these models traditionally lack many features of their continuum counterparts, limiting their applicability in arguments about gravity. In this talk, I present a natural extension of the tensor network holography paradigm which rectifies some of these issues. Its direct inspiration originates in Loop Quantum Gravity, which allows not only lifting existing limitations of tensor networks, but also firmly grounds the models in the context of nonperturbative canonical quantum gravity.
