Quantum fields and information emerge entangled from the quantum vacuum.

Deterministic and chaotic processes in the vacuum influence quantum field formation.

Abstract

A preliminary model of meaningful quanta of information arising from the quantum vacuum, and giving rise to the elementary quantum fields, is presented. We attempt to establish an equivalence of information and physical action, with the quanta (or packets of words) of information as a source of quantum fields (with a possible role in governing the interactions among those), similar to the quantum fields being the source of classical information. The information and quantum fields emerge in an entangled form out of the quantum vacuum, with their common underlying basis bearing intrinsically both a well-defined deterministic (geometric) and probabilistic (stochastic) structure. The description of equivalent energy of a quantum of the electromagnetic field, in terms of its information content, as well as an expression of the signal power, is provided. Various aspects of this problem and its possible implications and repercussions on our understanding of elementary quantum fields and their interactions are discussed. It is suggested that information, in a deterministic form, as well as chaotic processes within the quantum vacuum, give rise to a possible condensation of information into quantum fields.
