The physical meaning of the holographic principle
arXiv:2210.16021 · doi:10.12743/quanta.v11i1.206
Abstract
We show in this pedagogical review that far from being "an apparent law of physics that stands by itself" (R. Bousso, Rev. Mod. Phys. 74 (2002), 825-874), the holographic principle (HP) is a straightforward consequence of the quantum information theory of separable systems. It provides a basis for the theories of measurement, time, and scattering. Principles equivalent to the HP appear in both computer science and the life sciences, suggesting that the HP is not just a fundamental principle of physics, but of all of science.
