Exploring Quantum Gravity: The AdS/CFT Correspondence Debate

This chapter examines the interplay between quantum gravity and the AdS/CFT correspondence, questioning the efficacy of using quantum computers for simulating quantum field theory as a means to test quantum gravity experimentally. The discussion highlights the necessity of experimental validation in physics, while considering the indirect insights that AdS/CFT might offer in understanding fundamental concepts like dualities and holography.
