• Title: The quantum gravity seeds for laws of nature
• Authors: Vincent Lam, Daniele Oriti,
• Abstract summary: We discuss the challenges that the standard (Hu) accounts of laws face within the framework of quantum gravity where space and time may not be fundamental. We highlight the roles of quantum entanglement, quantum transition amplitudes and quantum causal histories. These features also stress the fruitful overlap between quantum gravity and quantum information theory.

• Abstract: We discuss the challenges that the standard (Humean and non-Humean) accounts of laws face within the framework of quantum gravity where space and time may not be fundamental. This paper identifies core (meta)physical features that cut across a number of quantum gravity approaches and formalisms and that provide seeds for articulating updated conceptions that could account for QG laws not involving any spatio-temporal notions. To this aim, we will in particular highlight the constitutive roles of quantum entanglement, quantum transition amplitudes and quantum causal histories. These features also stress the fruitful overlap between quantum gravity and quantum information theory.

• Quantum coarsening and collective dynamics on a programmable quantum simulator [27.84599956781646]
  We experimentally study collective dynamics across a (2+1)D Ising quantum phase transition. By deterministically preparing and following the evolution of ordered domains, we show that the coarsening is driven by the curvature of domain boundaries. We quantitatively explore these phenomena and further observe long-lived oscillations of the order parameter, corresponding to an amplitude (Higgs) mode.

• To be or not to be, but where? [0.0]
  Traditional approaches associate quantum systems with classical ones localized in spacetime. canonical linearized quantum gravity disrupts this framework by preventing the formation of gauge-in-variant local algebras. This presents a major obstacle for modeling early universe cosmology, gravity-entanglement experiments, and poses a significant roadblock toward a comprehensive theory of quantum gravity.

  We explore the applicability of quantum-data learning to practical problems in high-energy physics. We make use of ansatz based on quantum convolutional neural networks and numerically show that it is capable of recognizing quantum phases of ground states. The observation of non-trivial learning properties demonstrated in these benchmarks will motivate further exploration of the quantum-data learning architecture in high-energy physics.

We employ a new space-time approach to relativistic quantum mechanics to address these issues systematically.

  Quantization of the gravity remains one of the most important, yet extremely illusive, challenges at the heart of modern physics. Recently, it has been discovered that gravitationally-induced entanglement, tailored in the interferometric frameworks, can be used to witness the quantum nature of the gravity.

  We show that the notion of interactions mediated by an information channel is not, in general, equivalent to the treatment of interactions by quantum field theory. Second, we point out that in general one cannot replace a quantum field by that of classical sources, or mock up the effects of quantum fluctuations by classical noises.
