Gravitation, Thermodynamics, and Quantum Theory
During the past 30 years, research in general relativity has brought to light strong hints of a very deep and fundamental relationship between gravitation, thermodynamics, and quantum theory. The most striking indication of such a relationship comes from black hole thermodynamics, where it appears that certain laws of black hole mechanics are, in fact, simply the ordinary laws of thermodynamics...
متن کاملDerivative Expansion in Quantum Theory of Gravitation
The cosmological term prevents perturbation based on derivative expansion in Einstein gravity. We consider quantum theory of gravitation invariant under volume-preserving diffeomorphism and Weyl transformation, which is suitable for derivative expansion.
متن کاملOn the quantum theory of pure gravitation
A quantum theory of the region of pure gravitation was given earlier in two papers [gr-qc/9908036 (Phys. Lett. A 265, 1 (2000)); gr-qc/0101056]. In this paper I provide further insight into the physics of this region. PACS Nos: 04.60.-m, 04.70.-s ∗correspondence address 0 ... the solutions which the general theory of relativity allows...partition the three dimensional space into two regions: an...
متن کاملA review of quantum thermodynamics
In this article, we present a brief and elementary review of quantum thermodynamics and its achievements and challenges. This review includes an introduction to some fundamental concepts such as internal energy, heat, work, entropy, entropy production, thermal equilibrium, second law of quantum thermodynamics, relation between thermodynamics and information theory, as well as a discussion of ho...
متن کاملQuantum Measurement, Gravitation, and Locality *
This essay argues that when measurement processes involve energies of the order of the Planck scale, the fundamental assumption of locality may no longer be a good approximation. Idealized position measurements of two distinguishable spin-0 particles are considered. The measurements alter the space-time metric in a fundamental manner governed by the commutation relations [xi pj] = ih̄ δij and th...
