We restate Kay's 1998 hypothesis which simultaneously offers an objective definition for the entropy of a closed system, a microscopic foundation for the Second Law, a resolution of the Information Loss (and other) Black-Hole Puzzle(s) and…

We study the decoherence of a renormalised quantum field theoretical system. We consider our novel correlator approach to decoherence where entropy is generated by neglecting observationally inaccessible correlators. Using…

One proposal by Verlinde \cite{Verlinde:2010hp} is that gravity is not a fundamental, but an entropic force. In this way, Verlinde has provide us with a way to derive the Newton's law of gravitation from the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy-area…

Quantum mechanics and the theory of gravity are presently not compatible. A particular question is whether gravity causes decoherence - an unavoidable source of noise. Several models for gravitational decoherence have been proposed, not all…

Some comments are given on recently proposed entropic gravity by Verlinde. We focus on the derivation of Newton's law of gravitation. It is shown that consistent classical relations are enough to result in the Newtonian gravity. In our…

We clarify the problem in which occasions can gravitational force be regarded emergent from thermodynamics, by proposing an entropic mechanism that can extract the entropic gradient existing in spacetime, due to the variation of the…

In 2016, Erik Verlinde proposed a new theory of gravity called "emergent gravity" by using mathematical formulas used in the theory of elasticity. In 2017, De-Chang Dai and Dejan Stojkovic claimed to point out inconsistencies in Verlinde's…

Since the seminal work of Verlinde, the idea that gravity may be an emergent force of entropic origin has gained widespread attention. Many generalizations of this key idea have been considered in the literature, starting from well-known…

We consider two interacting systems when one is treated classically while the other system remains quantum. Consistent dynamics of this coupling has been shown to exist, and explored in the context of treating space-time classically. Here,…

In this paper, we study the idea about gravity as entropic force proposed by Verlinde. By applying the identification between partition functions of gravity theory and the dual field theory, we find the gravitational force can be calculated…

In this study, we investigate the influences of fermionic $q$-deformation on the Einstein equations by taking into account of Verlinde's entropic gravity approach and Strominger's proposal on quantum black holes. According to Verlinde's…

It is believed that classical behavior emerges in a quantum system due to decoherence. It has also been proposed that gravity can be a source of this decoherence. We examine this in detail by studying a number of quantum systems, including…

Verlinde's theory of Emergent Gravity (EG) describes gravity as an emergent phenomenon rather than a fundamental force. Applying this reasoning in de Sitter space leads to gravity behaving differently on galaxy and galaxy cluster scales;…

Verlinde conjectured that gravitation is an emergent entropic force. This surprising conjecture was proved in [Physica A {\bf 505} (2018) 190] within a purely classical context. Here, we appeal to a quantum environment to deal with the…
