New research links gravity to the way quantum information is organized
Researchers have published a study in Physical Review Letters exploring the connection between quantum information and the origin of gravity. By using quantum relative entropy, the authors suggest that spacetime geometry may emerge from quantum fields rather than being a fundamental feature of nature.
Why it matters
This research contributes to the long-standing goal of unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics, potentially reshaping our fundamental understanding of the universe.

Researchers say they may have taken a significant step toward explaining the origin of gravity.
SHARJAH, EMIRATE OF SHARJAH, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, October 12, 2026 / EINPresswire.com / -- Recent research shows that gravity and quantum information are deeply connected and that the shape of spacetime can be traced back to the way information is stored in quantum fields.
