Honestly I don't think I have single great article, though some Quanta ones are ok, and the Wikipedia article is okay.

The best thing I can recommend is what I did, which is ask Claude about the significance of (1) quantum computing error correction, and (2) error correction in black hole holography and research convergence between the two.

Edit: this whole article, despite it's boring title and hook, is maybe the best discussion of holography as a recent and active research frontier.

I have no idea what you're hoping the contribution would be. The AdS/CFT correspondence is 29 years old by now and it doesn't seem to apply to our spacetime, where the cosmological constant seems to be positive rather than negative. There are some puzzling consequences of the holographic principle in that scenario as well (https://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/0208013), but the linked articles don't talk about them?

Quanta articles are written for people with no background whatsoever, which makes them impenetrable if you have a bit of background and are trying to figure out what they're about. I don't know how good Claude is compared to that -- whenever I try asking any LLM about something I don't understand, it produces a wall of text, I have no idea whether it's correct or relevant, and I look for a textbook or review paper instead.
