Description
Probing the holographic principle on a physical platform requires tailored interactions between boundary degrees of freedom to produce a gravitational bulk. Our group has demonstrated programmable nonlocal interactions and control of the entanglement between clusters of cold atoms, and probed the emergence of a treelike bulk geometry inspired by p-adic AdS/CFT. Here, we discuss future directions to study holography in our cavity system. The proposed scheme is to engineer MERA-inspired couplings, whereupon bulk measurement induces a boundary state with power-law correlations whose continuum limit is conjectured to be dual to AdS. We describe routes to bulk reconstruction by computing the entanglement entropies of the boundary state.
