Quantum Entanglement in the Multiverse
In this report, we consider cosmological implications of quantum entanglement between two causally disconnected universes in the multiverse. Supposing that our universe was initially entangled with a causally separated universe, we compute the spectrum of vacuum fluctuations of our universe. To clearly see the effect of entanglement, we compare it with the spectrum of an initially non-entangled...
متن کاملAnthropic reasoning and typicality in multiverse cosmology and string theory
Anthropic arguments in multiverse cosmology and string theory rely on the weak anthropic principle (WAP). We show that the principle is fundamentally ambiguous. It can be formulated in one of two ways, which we refer to as WAP1 and WAP2. We show that WAP2, the version most commonly used in anthropic reasoning, makes no physical predictions unless supplemented by a further assumption of “typical...
متن کاملAnthropic reasoning in multiverse cosmology and string theory∗
Anthropic arguments in multiverse cosmology and string theory rely on the weak anthropic principle (WAP). We show that the principle, though ultimately a tautology, is nevertheless ambiguous. It can be reformulated in one of two unambiguous ways, which we refer to as WAP1 and WAP2. We show that WAP2, the version most commonly used in anthropic reasoning, makes no physical predictions unless sup...
متن کاملQuantum Cosmology and Varying Physical Constants
The main task of this review is to discuss quantum cosmology minisuperspace models based on the Wheeler–DeWitt equation, which apart from the standard matter and 3-geometry configuration degrees of freedom, allow those related to the variability of physical constants—varying speed of light (VSL) c and varying gravitational constant G. The tunneling probability of the universe “from nothing” to ...
متن کاملDetection of quantum entanglement in physical systems
Quantum entanglement is a fundamental concept both in quantum mechanics and in quantum information science. It encapsulates the shift in paradigm, for the description of the physical reality, brought by quantum physics. It has therefore been a key element in the debates surrounding the foundations of quantum theory. Entanglement is also a physical resource of great practical importance, instrum...
