Quantum entanglement dynamics of spacetime and matter

Area of Science:

• Theoretical Physics
• Quantum Gravity
• Quantum Field Theory

Background:

• Quantum theory and general relativity have foundational conflicts, posing a significant challenge for quantum gravity.
• Existing theories struggle with conceptual inconsistencies between quantum mechanics and gravity.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose an information-complete quantum field theory (ICQFT) that unifies fermions, gauge fields, and gravity.
• To resolve conceptual inconsistencies in existing theories of quantum gravity.
• To provide a framework for understanding spacetime-matter entanglement and its implications.

Main Methods:

• Development of an information-complete quantum field theory (ICQFT) describing elementary fermions, gauge fields, and gravity as a unified trinity.
• Unification of matter and spacetime (gravity) through spacetime-matter entanglement.
• Analysis of specific spacetime-matter entangled states and their physical consequences.

Main Results:

• The proposed ICQFT eliminates conceptual inconsistencies between quantum theory and general relativity.
• Spacetime-matter entanglement provides a solution to the problem of time and encodes complete physical predictions.
• A universal relation between entanglement entropy and geometry was derived, determining the cosmological constant.
• A quantum-information definition of dark energy suggests the universe is not strictly holographic.
• The interior quantum state of a Schwarzschild black hole is predicted to be maximally information-complete.

Conclusions:

• The ICQFT offers a concrete quantum formulation of gravity coupled with matter.
• It redefines quantum gravity as quantum entanglement dynamics for spacetime and matter.
• The theory eliminates conceptual obstacles in existing quantum gravity research.
