• Abstract: In this article, we demonstrate that the novel general theory of relativity, named `Entangled Relativity', is more economical than General Relativity in terms of universal dimensionful constants when both theories are considered through a path integral formulation. The sole parameter of Entangled Relativity is a quantum of energy squared. However, in order to recover standard Quantum Field Theory when gravity is neglected in the path integral, we show that this quantum of energy corresponds to the reduced Planck energy. But this result also implies that Planck's quantum of action $\hbar$ and Newton's constant $G$ are not fixed constants in this framework but vary proportionally to a gravitational scalar degree of freedom, akin to typical scalar-tensor and $f(R)$ theories. In particular, it is derived that $\hbar$ is proportional to $G$ in this framework. This establishes an explicit connection between the quantum and gravitational realms. Given the absence of a free parameter in the theory, we argue that this unique prediction can likely be probed observationally in the future. Furthermore, due to the deficit of dimensionful parameters in Entangled Relativity compared to standard physics, fundamental length or time scales cannot be defined within this framework. We argue that this aspect is expected to become significant in the non-perturbative quantum gravity regime of the theory.

  In quantum gravity theory, a state-dependent gravitational potential introduces nonlinearity into the state evolution. The formalism for understanding the continuous quantum measurement process on the quantum state has been previously discussed using the Schr"odinger picture. In this work, an equivalent formalism using the Heisenberg picture is developed and applied to the analysis of two optomechanical experiment protocols.

On the other hand, beyond the Newtonian approximation, the relativistic nature of gravity plays a crucial role.

• The arithmetic of uncertainty unifies quantum formalism and relativistic spacetime [0.0]
  Quantum theory deals with objects probabilistically at small scales, whereas relativity deals classically with motion in space and time. We show here that the mathematical structures of quantum theory and of relativity follow together from pure thought. One dimension of time and three dimensions of space are thus derived as the profound and inevitable framework of physics.
