Entanglement and information seem to be the new buzz words

In summary, the conversation discussed the concepts of entanglement and information, which are becoming popular in the world of particles. The participants agreed that these theories should include QG to create a functional quantum universe. They also discussed how particles exchange information through entanglement and how gravity communicates in a similar way. However, they expressed doubt that information is lost in entanglement, as it would contradict the laws of physics.

Entanglement and information seem to be the new buzz words in the particle
camp, two theories that seem natural to me, but should include QG to make
a workable quantum universe.
If particles carry information by spin ,and exchange information by entanglement
how would gravity communicate?

I believe the same way.
Like a photon is the force particle (messenger particle) for the electromagnetic field, a graviton is the same for gravity field.

I don't believe information is traded-off in entanglement, that would be nasty if so. Faster than speed of light traveling through the vacuum stuff.

I'm usually wrong tho.

It is true that entanglement and information have become increasingly important concepts in the field of particle physics. However, it is also important to consider the role of quantum gravity in understanding the full picture of the quantum universe. While entanglement and information may explain certain phenomena at the particle level, they alone may not be sufficient to fully explain the behavior of gravity.

One proposed theory is that gravity may also be carried by particles known as gravitons, which would interact with other particles through a force similar to the strong and weak nuclear forces. This would provide a way for gravity to communicate between particles, similar to how particles exchange information through entanglement.

In order to fully understand and describe the workings of the quantum universe, it is essential to incorporate the principles of both entanglement and information with the study of quantum gravity. Only then can we have a comprehensive understanding of how particles interact and communicate with each other in the quantum realm.
 

Related to Entanglement and information seem to be the new buzz words

What is entanglement?

Entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where two particles become connected in such a way that the state of one particle is dependent on the state of the other, even when they are separated by large distances.

How does entanglement relate to information?

Entanglement is important in the study of information because it allows for the transfer of information between particles without physically interacting with them. This has potential applications in quantum communication and computing.

What makes entanglement so unique?

Entanglement is unique because it cannot be explained by classical physics. It is a fundamental aspect of quantum mechanics and plays a crucial role in understanding the behavior of particles on a subatomic level.

How is entanglement measured?

Entanglement is typically measured using a mathematical tool called the entanglement entropy. This measures the amount of entanglement between two particles by looking at the degree of correlation between their states.

What are the potential applications of entanglement and information?

Entanglement and information have potential applications in a variety of fields, including quantum communication, quantum cryptography, and quantum computing. These technologies could have a major impact on fields such as telecommunications, data storage, and security.
