Abstract: Quantum gravity has a deep connection with large scale quantum entanglement and quantum information. In this talk, I will review their relation in the context of holographic duality. In particular, I will explain how traversable wormholes emerge in the background of two highly entangled black holes. This nontrivial spacetime geometry turns out to be dual to many-body quantum teleportation in the boundary dual system, which opens a door to simulate quantum gravity in terms of quantum computer and quantum information algorithms. I will also discuss recent developments along this direction and challenges to simulate quantum gravity on a near-term quantum computer.
