Title: Quantum Codes from Condensed Matter to Quantum Gravity

Abstract: I will explore the appearance of quantum codes in diverse contexts, from the toric code of condensed matter physics to holographic codes  in quantum gravity.   The contexts and implementations of these codes  vary widely, but their structures have much in common and suggest a deeper connection between them.
