• Abstract: The area law obeyed by the thermodynamic entropy of black holes is one of the fundamental results relating gravity to statistical mechanics. In this work we provide a derivation of the area law for the quantum relative entropy of the Schwarzschild black-hole for arbitrary Schwarzschild radius. The quantum relative entropy between the metric of the manifold and the metric induced by the geometry and the matter field has been proposed in G. Bianconi "Gravity from entropy", Phys. Rev. D (2025) as the action for entropic quantum gravity leading to modified Einstein equations. The quantum relative entropy generalizes Araki entropy and treats the metrics between zero-forms, one-forms, and two-forms as quantum operators. Although the Schwarzschild metric is not an exact solution of the modified Einstein equations of the entropic quantum gravity, it is an approximate solution valid in the low coupling, small curvature limit. Here we show that the quantum relative entropy associated to the Schwarzschild metric obeys the area law for large Schwarzschild radius. We provide a full statistical mechanics interpretation of the results.

  We discuss the entanglement entropy for a massive Klein-Gordon field in two Schwarzschild-like quantum black hole spacetimes. We estimate the free parameters for such quantum metrics through a simple physical argument based on Heisenberg uncertainty principle. Our findings reveal a significant decrease in entropy compared to the area law near the origin for the quantum metrics.

Though speculative, the similarities between the black hole information problem and the measurement problem may suggest some link in the origins of the two fundamental issues of distant fields.

• Second law of black hole thermodynamics [2.538209532048867]
  If simple entropy in the Bekenstein-Hawking area law for a Schwarzschild black hole is replaced with 'negative' quantum conditional entropy, the first law for black hole mechanics is resolved. Here, with the no-hair conjecture, we derive the perfect picture of a second law of black hole thermodynamics for any black hole from the modified area law. If this is confirmed, the modified area law could be to the first example of fundamental equations in physics which cannot be described without the concept of quantum information.
