In the search for a theory of quantum gravity that is able to resolve singularities in classical general relativity and explain the first moments of the universe, string theory delivers powerful tools: the “holographic” AdS/CFT duality allows us to study quantum gravity using much better understood field theory methods. I will explain some of the progress towards an explicit decoding of relevant aspects of gravity from a holographic quantum field theory. I will particularly focus on the emergence of spacetime dynamics from quantum entanglement, and on a new way to think about quantum chaos which serves as a useful diagnostic of black hole physics.
