Considerations on Gravity as an Entropic Force and Entangled States

TL;DR

This paper examines Verlinde's entropic gravity hypothesis, proposing that considering entangled states on the holographic screen can support Verlinde's formalism despite recent criticisms.

Contribution

It introduces the nonadditivity property of the holographic screen with entangled bits to validate Verlinde's entropic gravity model.

Findings

Supports Verlinde's formalism using entangled states

Addresses recent experimental criticisms

Proposes nonadditivity of holographic bits as a key factor

Abstract

Verlinde's ideas considered gravity as an emergent force originated from entropic concepts. This hypothesis generated a huge number of papers through the last recent years concerning classical and quantum approaches about the issue. In a recent paper Kobakhidze, using ultra-cold neutrons experiment, claimed that Verlinde's entropic gravity is not correct. In this letter, by considering the nonadditivity property of the holographic screen, where we assumed that the bits are entangled states, we showed that it is possible to confirm Verlinde's formalism.
