Paola Zizzi is a researcher that is trying to formulate a model of the universe like a quantum computer. She has published several papers about this, for example I remember one where she proposes the possibility of the universe being the "Ultimate Internet". Now she wants to apply these ideas somehow to LQG. In this paper, black holes are modeled as fuzzy spheres, and effects such as the Bekenstein-Mukhanov effect (the modifications caused by quantum gravity to Hawking radiation (Bekenstein and Mukhanov,1995)) are considered. Very interesting paper
