• Abstract: Gravity is derived from an entropic action coupling matter fields with geometry. The fundamental idea is to relate the metric of Lorentzian spacetime to a density matrix. The matter fields curve spacetime, defining a metric induced by the matter fields. The entropic action is the quantum relative entropy between the metric of spacetime and the metric induced by the matter fields. The modified Einstein equations obtained reduce to the Einstein equations in the regime of low coupling. To simplify the theory, exclusively scalar matter fields are considered. This theoretical framework can be extended in different directions, for instance by including fermionic matter fields and gauge fields. A canonical quantization of this field theory could bring new insights into quantum gravity.

• The Entropic Dynamics of Relativistic Quantum Fields in Curved Space-time [0.0]
  We apply the Entropic Dynamics (ED) framework to construct a quantum dynamics for scalar fields in space-time. Using a similar methodology, we construct a theory of quantum scalar fields in flat space-time that is relativistic, but not manifestly so. We consider such a theory and discuss its plausibility as a candidate for a quantum gravity theory.

• 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.
