There is evidence that spacetime and gravity emerge from the dynamics of more fundamental, strongly coupled degrees of freedom. The most concrete realization of this idea is the AdS/CFT paradigm, where gravity is holographically encoded in the physics of certain conformal field theories. I will describe some of my contributions towards understanding fundamental aspects of AdS/CFT, in particular the search for the dual description of the volume of the emergent space, and general results about chaos and the quantum butterfly effect in strongly coupled quantum systems.
