More answers than questions?

It's remarkable that ... the black hole information paradox, and ... quantum error correction codes ... – that the crossover is intimate. It's almost a complete crossover,"

I remember that from last week - the claim that a black hole loses no information, which sounds satisfying - but is it proven experimentally or by observation?

The problem of quantum error correction is isolating the computation from spurious noise - in other words losing the information about the spurious noise but keeping the remaining unique solution - it doesn't seem like the same problem.

But then, I'm as thick as a brick, so ...
