abstract

We propose a family of exactly solvable toy models for the AdS/CFT correspondence based on a novel construction of quantum error-correcting codes with a tensor network structure. Our building block is a special type of tensor with maximal entanglement along any bipartition, which gives rise to an isometry from the bulk Hilbert space to the boundary Hilbert space. The entire tensor network is an encoder for a quantum error-correcting code, where the bulk and boundary degrees of freedom may be identified as logical and physical degrees of freedom respectively. These models capture key features of entanglement in the AdS/CFT correspondence; in particular, the Ryu-Takayanagi formula and the negativity of tripartite information are obeyed exactly in many cases. That bulk logical operators can be represented on multiple boundary regions mimics the Rindler-wedge reconstruction of boundary operators from bulk operators, realizing explicitly the quantum error-correcting features of AdS/CFT recently proposed by Almheiri et. al in arXiv:1411.7041.

Replica wormholes and the black hole interior

hep-th · 2019-11-27 · conditional · novelty 9.0

Replica wormhole geometries justify the replica trick computation of the Page curve in holographic black hole models and support entanglement wedge reconstruction via the Petz map.

Hofstadter's Butterfly in AdS$_3$ Black Holes

hep-th · 2026-04-15 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A single-band lattice model on the BTZ cylinder produces a curvature-dependent Harper equation whose spectra show sharpened butterfly fragmentation at weak curvature and suppressed magnetic response near larger horizons.

Holographic Tensor Networks as Tessellations of Geometry

hep-th · 2025-12-22 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Holographic tensor networks constructed from PEE-thread tessellations of AdS geometry reproduce the exact Ryu-Takayanagi formula in factorized EPR, perfect-tensor, and random variants.

Searching for emergent spacetime in spin glasses

hep-th · 2025-10-23 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Spectral functions of SYK, p-spin, and SU(M) Heisenberg models show exponential tails in spin-glass phases and quasiparticle families in spin-liquid phases, with a proof that exponential decay blocks detection of bulk causal structure.

The magic of the gravitational vacuum

hep-th · 2026-06-18 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

The vecro hypothesis introduces a lattice model of the gravitational vacuum whose extended correlations nucleate fuzzballs that destroy semiclassical spacetime near trapped surfaces.

Channel-State duality with centers

quant-ph · 2024-04-24 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Generalizes channel-state duality to algebras with centers, establishing a link between state non-separability and channel isometry, plus extension to infinite-dimensional trace-class operators.
