Title: Gravity and Quantum Information

Abstract:
We give a review talk on the evolution of recent ideas on the nature of
gravity. Due to the current proliferation of interesting results, far from
being crystallized into a coherent picture, we adopt a historical
perspective. This clearly shows that these revolutionary ideas have
emerged from the possibility of articulating the knowledge provided by
string theory in the new language of Quantum Information.
A particular emphasis is devoted to the issue of how this language
combined with finite geometric structures provides some interesting
insight into this exciting field.
