• Abstract: Combining gravity with quantum theory is still work in progress. On the one hand, classical gravity, is the geometry of space-time determined by the energy-momentum tensor of matter and the resulting nonlinear equations; on the other hand, the mathematical description of a quantum system, is Hilbert space with linear equations describing evolution. In this paper, various measures in Hilbert space will be presented. In general, distance measures in Hilbert space can be divided into measures determined by energy and measures determined by entropy. Entropy measures determine quasi-distance because they do not satisfy all the axioms defining distance. Finding a general rule to determine such a measure unambiguously seems to be fundamental.

• Gravity from entropy [0.0]
  Gravity is derived from an entropic action coupling matter fields with geometry. The matter fields curve spacetime, defining a metric induced by the matter fields. A canonical quantization of this field theory could bring new insights into quantum gravity.

• Strict area law entanglement versus chirality [15.809015657546915]
  Chirality is a gapped phase of matter in two spatial dimensions that can be manifested through non-zero thermal or electrical Hall conductance. We prove two no-go theorems that forbid such chirality for a quantum state in a finite dimensional local Hilbert space with strict area law entanglement entropies.

  We consider the fermionic entanglement entropy for the free Dirac field in a bounded spatial region of Minkowski spacetime. An area law is proven in the limiting cases where the volume tends to infinity and/or the regularization length tends to zero.

• Quantum mechanics with real numbers: entanglement, superselection rules and gauges [0.0]
  We show how imaginary numbers in quantum physics can be eliminated by enlarging the Hilbert Space followed by an imposition of a superselection rule. We illustrate this procedure with a qubit and apply it to the Mach-Zehnder interferometer.

• Does the Universe have its own mass? [62.997667081978825]
  The mass of the universe is a distribution of non-zero values of gravitational constraints. A formulation of the Euclidean quantum theory of gravity is also proposed to determine the initial state. Being unrelated to ordinary matter, the distribution of its own mass affects the geometry of space.

  The math of QM is the Hilbert space version of the math to describe objective indefiniteness that at the set level is the math of partitions. The key machinery to go from indefinite to more definite states is the partition join operation.

  We propose a generalization of the Wasserstein distance of order 1 to the quantum states of $n$ qudits. The proposed distance is invariant with respect to permutations of the qudits and unitary operations acting on one qudit. We also propose a generalization of the Lipschitz constant to quantum observables.
