• Abstract: This article begins by putting forth a model that shows how the storage and retrieval of information on a wave function that involves quantum entanglement behaves similarly to the concepts of length contraction and time dilation, respectively. An exploration is then made to see if another model can be generated based on the one previously mentioned that guides the time evolution of a quantum system in a manner similar to that of gravity. The answer is made in the affirmative, after testing a series of models, by producing a field that is mediated solely by the transfer of quantum information using both quantum entanglement and wave function collapse. While it is readily acknowledged that the effective field produced may not be gravity, the study provides arguments about why the concepts presented do in fact provide fundamental insights about the true nature of gravity as opposed to merely generating similar behavior to gravity. The study moves on to study how a system with uniform effective potential behaves similarly to dark energy, albeit with a system whose construction is severely limited by computational resources. Finally, an exploration is made as to whether a negative gravitational mass can be produced. It is found that while an isolated particle with negative gravitational mass proves to be problematic according to this model, it seems as though a local region with negative gravitational mass can be produced as long as the resulting fields are cancelled out at larger distances.

  In non-relativistic quantum mechanics, the gravitational field in such experiments can be written as a superposition state. We empirically demonstrate that alternative theories of gravity can avoid gravitational superposition states. Proposed experiments with superposed gravitational sources would provide even stronger evidence that gravity is nonclassical.

  Quantum aspects of gravity, such as massive gravitons, can emerge in experiments with fractional quantum Hall liquids. We employ (2+1)-dimensional Dirac fermions, emerging in the continuous limit of a fermionic honeycomb lattice, coupled to massive gravitons, simulated by bosonic modes. The similarity of our approach to current optical lattice configurations suggests that quantum signatures of gravity can be simulated in the laboratory in the near future.

• Gravitational waves affect vacuum entanglement [68.8204255655161]
  The entanglement harvesting protocol is an operational way to probe vacuum entanglement. Using this protocol, it is demonstrated that while the transition probability of an individual atom is unaffected by the presence of a gravitational wave, the entanglement harvested by two atoms depends sensitively on the frequency of the gravitational wave. This suggests that the entanglement signature left by a gravitational wave may be useful in characterizing its properties, and potentially useful in exploring the gravitational-wave memory effect and gravitational-wave induced decoherence.
