Emergent Holographic Forces from Quantum Circuits and Criticality

I will explain a model of the AdS/CFT correspondence that can be implemented on contemporary quantum simulators.  In particular, using extensive numerics and analytics, I will show that a specific 1+1 critical quantum spin chain has a duality with a 2+1 bulk theory possessing long-range forces that quantitatively match AdS gravity.  This duality is instantiated by a simple quantum circuit which maps the 1+1 theory to the 2+1 theory.  We will explore implications for quantum gravity and discuss the role of quantum simulation.
