Bekenstein bound and Cauchy's integral formula

Bekenstein bound states that the amount of information in some region of the space is proportional to the surface of the region, not the volume.

Cauchy's integral formula states that for any holomorphic function on a complex plane inside some region defined by a closed curve the values of that function inside that region are completely defined by the values of that function on the curve.

These statements sound strikingly similar. I immediately did a quick googling, but didn't found anything satisfactory. Does anyone know about some paper that tried to explain Bekenstein bound in terms of holomorphic functions?

Not directly, I think, but the Cardy formula used in calculation of the entropy of some black holes uses the properties of holomorphic functions eg. http://relativity.livingreviews.org/Articles/lrr-2012-11/ section 3.1.

I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this: Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.) Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit? Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
