In particular black holes are a form of quantum computing and communication channel. The Ryu-Takanayagi formula is a type of quantum error correction code. Golay codes have Lie algebraic structure, and in the heterotic and sporadic groups correspond to Jacobi θ-functions and modular functions. There are also Goppa codes that are elliptic curves, and with the Weiles proof about Shimura varieties it means these are also modular. So I am interested in the intersection of these two. In particular we can think of these has having a comutatant sub-Hilbert space that defines a von Neumann algebra. Maybe a quantum computer can emulate this.
I suspect that quantum computers will in time be put primarily to the task of encrypting financial and government information. Already about 10% of electrical power generated in the world is for the internet, about 25% of that involves money or transactions, and .17% of electrical power is now devoted to bitcoin mining. I suppose one can say this is "the way of the world." It is following the general direction humanity is moving, which is towards virtual constructions and an ever inwards focus. Think of it as the opposite future scenario from the science fiction TV screenplay *Star Trek*.
