The Relationship Between Geometry and Entanglement
In the vacuum, in empty space, there's a very specific entanglement structure. If you want to put a particle somewhere, so you want to add some energy to a region of space by putting a particle there, you basically have to break that little vibrating quantum field with the rest of its surroundings. So we can easily imagine a relationship between geometry and entanglement. And if you do that for all the different parts of the wave function, geometry emerges on space. Now we haven't proven this, truth in advertising. This is an ongoing research program that is not done yet. We've made progress, but the progress is the following: Rather than saying this is true,
