Abstract

In recent years quantum error correction(QEC) has become an important part of AdS/CFT. Unfortunately, there are no field-theoretic arguments about why QEC holds in known holographic systems. The purpose of this paper is to fill this gap by studying the error-correcting properties of the fermionic sector of various large N theories. Specifically, we examine SU(N) matrix quantum mechanics and 3-rank tensor O(N)^3 theories. Both of these theories contain large gauge groups. We argue that gauge singlet states indeed form a quantum error-correcting code. Our considerations are based purely on large N analysis and do not appeal to a particular form of Hamiltonian or holography. Based on: arXiv: 2008.12869
