Gravity as Quantum Entanglement Force

TL;DR

This paper proposes that gravity and dark energy are emergent phenomena resulting from the universe's increasing quantum entanglement, offering a novel perspective on their origins and the arrow of time.

Contribution

It introduces the idea that gravity and dark energy are quantum entanglement forces, linking them to the universe's entanglement dynamics and holographic dark energy models.

Findings

Quantum entanglement tends to increase over time, akin to entropy.

Gravity and dark energy may be emergent entanglement forces.

Holographic dark energy model aligns with observational data.

Abstract

We conjecture that the total quantum entanglement of matter and vacuum in the universe tends to increase with time, like entropy, and that an effective force is associated with this tendency. We also suggest that gravity and dark energy are types of quantum entanglement forces, similar to Verlinde's entropic force, and give holographic dark energy with an equation of state comparable to current observational data. This connection between quantum entanglement and gravity could give some new insights into the origins of gravity, dark energy, and the arrow of time.
