A theory of quantum gravity based on quantum computation is proposed. In this
theory, fundamental processes are described in terms of quantum information
processing: the geometry of space-time is a construct, derived from the
underlying quantum computation. Explicit mechanisms are provided for the
back-reaction of the metric to computational `matter,' black-hole evaporation,
holography, and quantum cosmology.
