There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Holographic duality, which relates ordinary quantum systems without gravity to systems with gravity, has recently provided an exciting new perspective on quantum many-body physics. However, the results obtained thus far are still relatively far from experimental reality. I will show how a version of holography applies even to very conventional quantum systems that are routinely encountered in the laboratory. I will also discuss progress starting from the gravity side in understanding certain highly entangled compressible states which may be relevant for experiments.
