The AdS/CFT correspondence The AdS/CFT is a concrete example of the holographic principle, which suggests that all the information about the interior of some region is actually contained on the boundary of that region. The AdS/CFT, connects the physics of a weakly coupled string theory living in an Anti de Sitter space with the physics of a strongly coupled QFT living on the boundary of AdS.
The AdS/CFT correspondence The AdS/CFT correspondence [Maldacena 98]: Z SUGRA [AdS D+1, J (x, z)] = DJ (x, z) e S SUGRA[J (x,z)] Z CFT [ AdS D+1, J(x)] = Dφ(x) e [S 0[φ(x)]+ J(x) O(x) dx] AdS/CFT correspondence Z SUGRA [AdS D+1, J (x, z)] exp ( J(x) O(x) dx ) CFT J (x, 0) = J(x) z is the extra dimension of the gravity theory in AdS, Oare operators of the CFT on the boundary of AdS and J (x, z) are SUGRA fields such that J(x) J (x, z) z 0 are the sources for correlation functions of the CFT.
The AdS/CFT correspondence AdS/CFT provides models to study non perturbative effects in QFT (confinement, quantum phase transitions...) However, still there is not a first principle derivation of the duality. It is widely accepted that the AdS/CFT is at heart a geometric formulation of the renormalization group (RG), such that the renormalization scale becomes the extra dimension z. Curvature of the holographic direction contains the RG flow information.

Physical Geometry Networks The network mimics the physical geometry of the system, as specified by the pattern of interactions in the Hamiltonian Ex. MPS (1D), PEPS (2D) Holographic Networks Tensors are connected so as to parametrize the physics at different length scales relevant to describe the QMBS wave function The network spans an additional dimension related with the RG scale Ex: MERA, TTN
The MPS anstaz is: Ψ MPS = d {s j }=1 T s 1,s 2,, s N s 1, s 2,, s N T s1,s 2,, s N = Tr [A s1 A s2 A sn ]

The MERA ansatz [Vidal07] The MERA representation of implements an effcient real space RG procedure through a layered tensor network labelled by τ Each layer of MERA defines a RG transformation: prior to the renormalization of a block of 2 sites at layer τ into a single site by means of a Λ τ tensor, SRE between the sites is removed by means of the disentangler χ τ Disentanglers χ / χ χ = I and isometries Λ/ Λ Λ = I For 1D systems, the MERA computation of an observable Θ requires the contraction of a 2D tensor network
Correlation Functions in MERA The total contraction of the tensor network proceeds by mapping an effective observable Θ in a sequential way Θ τ Θ τ+1 = S[Θ τ ] Ψ Θ Ψ = C Θ h C h = log 2 N S( ) = µ α φ α Tr(φ α, ) α = log µ α

The connection between AdS/CFT and entanglement renormalization tensor networks (MERA) The AdS/MERA duality The Big Questions are: Are some systems of strongly interacting qubits, secretly theories of quantum gravity in an AdS emergent spacetime? Is this intimately related with the structure of entangle ment in QMBS? What is the role of large N / strong coupling in AdS/MERA?
