Entropy of quantum entanglement

Entropy of quantum entanglement

Quantum entanglement entropy measures the degree of quantum connection between spatial regions, linking quantum information theory and spacetime geometry

Indirect evidence may come from astrophysical data, black hole imaging, gravitational wave signals, or precise gravity measurements

The framework relies on perturbative methods, which are constrained at very high energies, highlighting the need for non-perturbative approaches

Significant effects of entanglement entropy on gravity are only meaningful near the Planck scale, limiting current experimental detection

The study suggests spacetime structure arises from quantum information flow, proposing an "informational operating system" underlying reality

Entanglement entropy-driven gravity variations could influence inflationary dynamics, Big Bang nucleosynthesis, and dark energy

Corrections to G depend on the quantum field content of the universe (e.g., scalars, spinors, gauge bosons) and fundamental constants like ħ, c, and kB

Entanglement entropy creates a duality between the informational content of quantum fields and the geometric structure of spacetime

The study introduces an "informational stress-energy tensor," incorporating entanglement entropy into Einstein's field equations as a driver of spacetime curvature

Entanglement entropy contributes explicit corrections to Newton’s gravitational constant (G), suggesting gravity may vary with energy scale ("running gravity")
