Gravity From Entropy: Spacetime as Quantum Information


Listen Later

What if gravity isn't a fundamental force but emerges from quantum information? This paper treats the geometry of spacetime as a quantum density matrix and casts gravity as the relative entropy, the informational distance, between empty space and the matter that warps it. Strikingly, an auxiliary field introduced to make the math work behaves just like a cosmological constant, offering a natural hint at dark energy.
