DESCRIPTION:Prof. Brian Swingle\, University of Maryland  --   video of 
 the colloquium  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5oJ6J-wLRU\nIt is often 
 suggested that our theory of spacetime and gravity is in tension with quan
 tum theory\, for example\, that quantum information might be lost in black
  holes. However\, recent developments suggest that spacetime and gravity a
 ctually emerge from complex patterns of quantum information. I will review
  these developments with a focus on the physics of black holes in certain 
 well controlled models of quantum gravity. Along the way\, I will highligh
 t many connections to the physics of chaotic quantum many-body systems. To
  conclude\, I will argue that these connections between quantum gravity an
 d quantum information offer a new route to quantum gravity in the lab: the
  potential to use a quantum computer to simulate otherwise impossible expe
 riments probing the quantum nature of spacetime.
