DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Manthos Karydas (LBNL)\n\nIt has been conjectured th
 at the gravitational interaction may arise as an entropic force rather tha
 n as a result of virtual quanta exchange of a fundamental field. In this t
 alk I will present a set of microscopic quantum models which realize this 
 idea in detail. I will describe a simple mechanism by which Newton’s law
  of gravity arises from the extremization of the free energy of a collecti
 on of qubits. I will show both a local and non-local model version of the 
 construction and discuss how to distinguish these entropic models from ord
 inary perturbative quantum gravity using existing observations and near te
 rm experiments. Based on 2502.17575 with Daniel Carney\, Thilo Scharnhorst
 \, Roshni Singh and Jacob M. Taylor.\n\nhttps://events.perimeterinstitute.
