• Abstract: Space-time in quantum mechanics is about bridging Hilbert and configuration space. Thereby, an entirely new perspective is obtained by replacing the Newtonian space-time theater with the image of a presumably high-dimensional Hilbert space, through which space-time becomes an epiphenomenon construed by internal observers.

  We show that processes in local effective theories can be spoofed with a quantum system with fewer degrees of freedom. We highlight how approximate overlapping qubits are conceptually connected to Hilbert space dimension verification, degree-of-freedom counting in black holes and holography.

• Continuous percolation in a Hilbert space for a large system of qubits [58.720142291102135]
  The percolation transition is defined through the appearance of the infinite cluster. We show that the exponentially increasing dimensionality of the Hilbert space makes its covering by finite-size hyperspheres inefficient. Our approach to the percolation transition in compact metric spaces may prove useful for its rigorous treatment in other contexts.

• De Sitter Spacetime from Holographic Flat Spacetime with Inexact Bulk Quantum Mechanics [0.0]
  We argue that the flat spacetime with inexact quantum mechanics in it is dual to the de Sitter spacetime with exact quantum mechanics in it. The vanishing smallness of the observed positive cosmological constant suggests the extraordinary exactness of the bulk quantum mechanics in the flat spacetime.

  We show a quantum field simulator in a two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate with a trap and adjustable interaction strength. We explicitly show the realisation of spacetimes with positive and negative spatial curvature by wave packet propagation. We find quantitative agreement with new analytical predictions for different curvatures in time and space.

• Double Quantization [0.0]
  In a quantum gravity theory, it is expected that the classical notion of spacetime disappears, leading to a quantum structure with new properties. There is not a clear way to describe at the same time a noncommutativity of spacetime and the phase-space noncommutativity of quantum mechanics. We apply our construction to the so-called $lambda$-Minkwoski and $mathbbR3_lambda$ noncommutative spaces.

  We show that it is neither necessary nor sufficient for the Poisson bracket between the time variable and the super-Hamiltonian to be equal to unity in all of the phase space. We also discuss the question of switching between different internal times as well as the Montevideo interpretation of quantum theory.

• Schr\"odinger's cat for de Sitter spacetime [0.0]
  We provide a new phenomenological description for the response of quantum probes on a spacetime manifold in quantum superpositions. Applying this approach to static de Sitter space, we discover scenarios in which the effects produced by the quantum spacetime are operationally indistinguishable from those induced by superpositions of Rindler trajectories in Minkowski spacetime. The distinguishability of such quantum spacetimes from superpositions of trajectories in flat space reduces to the equivalence or non-equivalence of the field correlations between the superposed amplitudes.
