The issue of black hole entropy is reexamined within a finite lattice framework along the lines of Wheeler, 't Hooft and Susskind, with an additional criterion to identify physical horizon states contributing to the entropy. As a…
We interpret the Holographic Conjecture in terms of quantum bits (qubits). N-qubit states are associated with surfaces that are punctured in N points by spin networks' edges labeled by the spin-1/2 representation of SU(2), which are in a…
We briefly review the recent novel solution of General Relativity, we call the cosmological black hole, firstly discovered in [Roupas, Z. Eur. Phys. J. C 82, 255 (2022)]. A dark energy universe and a Schwartzschild black hole are matched on…

We construct a model of the Cyclic Universe from a joint theory of General relativity, Thermodynamics and Quantum information theory. Friedmann equations and the thermodynamical Gibbs-Duhem relation determine a general form of the Hubble…

We analyze spacetimes with horizons and study the thermodynamic aspects of causal horizons, suggesting that the resemblance between gravitational and thermodynamic systems has a deeper quantum mechanical origin. We find that the observer…
Almost all of the entropy in the universe is in the form of Bekenstein--Hawking (BH) entropy of super-massive black holes. This entropy, if it satisfies Boltzmann's equation $S=\log{\cal N}$, hence represents almost all the accessible phase…
A new version of holographic principle for cosmology is proposed, which dictates that particle entropy within `cosmological apparent horizon' should not exceed gravitational entropy associated with the apparent horizon. It is shown that, in…

We study the possibility that black hole entropy be identified as entropy of entanglement across the horizon of the vacuum of a quantum field in the presence of the black hole. We argue that a recent proposal for computing entanglement…
