Quantum mechanics emerges from information theory applied to causal horizons

Understand

It is suggested that quantum mechanics is not fundamental but emerges from classical information theory applied to causal horizons.

• The path integral quantization and quantum randomness can be derived by considering information loss of fields or particles crossing Rindler horizons for accelerating observers.
• This implies that information is one of the fundamental roots of all physical phenomena.
• The connection between this theory and Verlinde's entropic gravity theory is also investigated.
