A bstractWe study Renyi entropies Sn in quantum error correcting codes and compare the answer to the cosmic brane prescription for computing S˜n≡n2∂nn−1nSn$${\tilde{S}}_n\equiv {n}^2{\partial}_n\left(\frac{n-1}{n}{S}_n\right)$$. We find that general operator algebra codes have a similar, more general prescription. Notably, for the AdS/CFT code to match the specific cosmic brane prescription, the code must have maximal entanglement within eigenspaces of the area operator. This gives us an…

An explicit and solvable toy model for the AdS/CFT correspondence is constructed in the form of an approximate quantum error correction code with a non-trivial center in the code subalgebra, and an example where the connected two-point correlation functions can have a power-law decay is constructed.

This paper explores the properties of ETH as an error correcting code and shows that there exists an explicit universal recovery channel for the code, and discusses a generalization that all chaotic theories contain error correcting codes.
