Spacetime from Entanglement
Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics ( IF 22.6 ) Pub Date : 2018-03-12 00:00:00 , DOI: 10.1146/annurev-conmatphys-033117-054219

This is an idiosyncratic colloquium-style review of the idea that spacetime and gravity can emerge from entanglement. Drawing inspiration from the conjectured duality between quantum gravity in anti de Sitter space and certain conformal field theories, we argue that tensor networks can be used to define a discrete geometry that encodes entanglement geometrically. With the additional assumption that a continuum limit can be taken, the resulting geometry necessarily obeys Einstein's equations. The discussion takes the point of view that the emergence of spacetime and gravity is a mysterious phenomenon of quantum many-body physics that we would like to understand. We also briefly discuss possible experiments to detect emergent gravity in highly entangled quantum systems.

纠缠的时空

这是对时空和引力可以从纠缠中产生出来的观点的一次特殊的座谈会式的回顾。从反de Sitter空间中的量子引力与某些共形场理论之间的猜想对偶性中汲取灵感,我们认为张量网络可用于定义离散几何,并以几何方式对纠缠进行编码。在假定可以采用连续极限的前提下,得到的几何形状必须服从爱因斯坦方程。讨论的观点是,时空和引力的出现是我们想了解的量子多体物理学的神秘现象。我们还简要讨论了检测高度纠缠的量子系统中出现的引力的可能实验。
