Description: QGR Visitor and Friend Michael Rios gives a talk presenting that using clues from exceptional Lie algebras, intersection theory, cohomology and the EP/KM correspondence, it is possible to give an explicit qubit formulation of quantum gravity. This is done by studying Cartan matrices for Lie algebras and Kac-Moody algebras as intersection matrices of branes. And these brane configurations, in turn, can be mapped to networks of qubits.
