Einsteins equations of general relativity (GR) can describe the connection between events within a given hypervolume of size $L$ larger than the Planck length $L_P$ in terms of wormhole connections where metric fluctuations give rise to an indetermination relationship that involves the Riemann curvature tensor. At low energies (when $L gg L_P$), these connections behave like an exchange of a virtual graviton with wavelength $lambda_G=L$ as if gravitation were an emergent physical property. Down to Planck scales, wormholes avoid the gravitational collapse and any superposition of events or space--times become indistinguishable. These properties of Einsteins equations can find connections with the novel picture of quantum gravity (QG) known as the ``Einstein--Rosen (ER)=Einstein--Podolski--Rosen (EPR) (ER = EPR) conjecture proposed by Susskind and Maldacena in Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) space--times in their equivalence with conformal field theories (CFTs). In this scenario, non-traversable wormhole connections of two or more distant events in space--time through Einstein--Rosen (ER) wormholes that are solutions of the equations of GR, are supposed to be equivalent to events connected with non-local Einstein--Podolski--Rosen (EPR) entangled states that instead belong to the language of quantum mechanics. Our findings suggest that if the ER = EPR conjecture is valid, it can be extended to other different types of space--times and that gravity and space--time could be emergent physical quantities if the exchange of a virtual graviton between events can be considered connected by ER wormholes equivalent to entanglement connections.

In this paper, we provide a counter-example to the ER=EPR conjecture. In an anti-de Sitter space, we construct a pair of maximally entangled but separated black holes. Due to the vacuum decay of the anti-de Sitter background toward a deeper vacuum, these two parts can be trapped by bubbles. If these bubbles are reasonably large, then within the scrambling time, there should appear an Einstein-Rosen bridge between the two black holes. Now by tracing more details on the bubble dynamics, one can identify parameters such that one of the two bubbles either monotonically shrinks or expands. Because of the change of vacuum energy, one side of the black hole would evaporate completely. Due to the shrinking of the apparent horizon, a signal of one side of the Einstein-Rosen bridge can be viewed from the opposite side. We analytically and numerically demonstrate that within a reasonable semi-classical parameter regime, such process can happen. Bubbles are a non-perturbative effect, which is the crucial reason that allows the transmission of information between the two black holes through the Einstein-Rosen bridge, even though the probability is highly suppressed. Therefore, the ER=EPR conjecture cannot be generic in its present form and its validity maybe restricted.
We study how quantum correlations survive at large scales in spite of their exposition to stochastic backgrounds of gravitational waves. We consider Einstein-Podolski-Rosen (EPR) correlations built up on the polarizations of photon pairs and evaluate how they are affected by the cosmic gravitational wave background (CGWB). We evaluate the quantum decoherence of the EPR correlations in terms of a reduction of the violation of the Bell inequality as written by Clauser, Horne, Shimony and Holt (CHSH). We show that this decoherence remains small and that EPR correlations can in principle survive up to the largest cosmic scales.
We study a static, spherically symmetric wormhole model whose metric coincides with that of the so-called Ellis wormhole but the material source of gravity consists of a perfect fluid with negative density and a source-free radial electric or magnetic field. For a certain class of fluid equations of state, it has been shown that this wormhole model is linearly stable under both spherically symmetric perturbations and axial perturbations of arbitrary multipolarity. A similar behavior is predicted for polar nonspherical perturbations. It thus seems to be the first example of a stable wormhole model in the framework of general relativity (at least without invoking phantom thin shells as wormhole sources).
We propose an approach to induced gravity, or Sakharovs metrical elasticity, which requires only an affine spacetime that accommodates scalar fields. The setup provides the induction of metric gravity from a pure affine action, and it is established in two possible ways: (i) at the classical level, Einstein-Hilbert action arises with both, metric and Newtons constant, from the nonzero potential energy of the background field (ii) at the quantum level (quantized matter), gravity scale is induced from the one-loop effective action by integrating out the scalar degrees of freedom. In the former, the cosmological constant is absorbed leading to the gravitational sector, however, the fact remains that quantum corrections induce a large cosmological constant. This new approach adds a crucial feature to induced gravity which is the fact that the metric structure is not imposed from the scratch, but it is an outcome of the primary theory.
We present a simple static spacetime which describes a spherically symmetric traversable wormhole characterized by a length parameter $l$ and reduces to Minkowski in the limit $lto 0$. The wormhole connects two distinct asymptotically flat regions with vanishing ADM mass and the areal radius of its throat is exactly $l$. All the standard energy conditions are respected outside the proper radial distance approximately $1.60l$ from the wormhole throat. If $l$ is identified as the Planck length $l_{rm p}$, the total amount of the negative energy supporting this wormhole is only $Esimeq -2.65m_{rm p}c^2$, which is the rest mass energy of about $-5.77times 10^{-5}{rm g}$.
