  Previous works (by Almiehri, Dong, Harlow, Pastakawski, Preskill, Yoshida and
others) have established that quantum error correction plays an important role
in understanding how the bulk degrees of freedom of an Anti-deSitter spacetime
are encoded in the degrees of freedom of the boundary Conformal Field Theory.
In previous work \cite{Vaid2013Elementary} I have argued that the
Bilson-Thompson model \cite{Bilson-Thompson2006Quantum,Vaid2010Embedding} of
elementary particles allows us to view elementary particles as gates for
universal quantum computation. In the present work I show that the
Bilson-Thompson model, where elementary particles are represented by elements
of the framed braid group on three strands, provides an explicit model for the
generation of qutrit (three-qubit) states which are the ingredients of Shor's
quantum error correcting code. This allows, for the first time, to connect in a
concrete manner the proposals of Almheiri, Pastawski, Preskill and others
regarding the role of quantum error correction in quantum gravity, to a viable
model of elementary particles. Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG), the theory of
quantum gravity in which such topological excitations exist, can thus serve as
the glue which can connect AdS/CFT based approaches to quantum gravity to the
well understood physics of the Standard Model.
