Space from entanglement: An information-geometric perspective

Abstract

In this paper, we study the construction of classical geometry from the quantum entanglement structure by using information geometry. In the information geometry of classical spacetime, the Fisher information metric is related to a blurred metric of a classical physical space. We first show that a local information metric can be obtained from the entanglement contour in a local subregion. This local information metric measures the fine structure of entanglement spectra inside the subregion, which suggests a quantum origin of the information-geometric blurred space. We study both the continuous and the classical limits of the quantum-originated blurred space by using the techniques from the statistical sampling algorithms, the sampling theory of spacetime and the projective limit. A scheme for going from a blurred space with quantum features to a classical geometry is also explored.
