Holography posits a radical way to quantify gravitational physics. It claims that all information of a gravitational theory in a region of space can be en-coded by a quantum theory at the boundary of this region. This lecture will discuss holography from an engineering perspective. We will see how one can engineer—i.e., design and build—gravity through this relationship, using possible quantum theories on the boundary as materials for the undertaking. Overcoming the challenging obstacles to this engineering task is paramount for deciphering the mysterious properties of black holes and understanding the role of dark energy in cosmology.
