 The Many Facets of Quantum Error Correction: Cryptography, Holography, and Computation

Information is a fundamental aspect of our daily lives and the universe that we inhabit. From cryptography to cell phone networks to spacetime, both classical and quantum information have a role to play. In order to achieve the full set of advantages afforded by quantum mechanics, we must find ways to correct errors that occur in the course of computation and communication. What computational advantages can quantum physics provide, has quantum encryption finally settled the war between code-makers and code-breakers, and what possible relation could there be between the information that you send over the internet and spacetime?
