Quantum Bose-Hubbard model with an evolving graph as a toy model for emergent spacetime

Quantum Bose-Hubbard model with an evolving graph as a toy model for emergent spacetime

We present a toy model for interacting matter and geometry that explores quantum dynamics in a spin system as a precursor to a quantum theory of gravity. The model has no a priori geometric properties; instead, locality is inferred from the more fundamental notion of interaction between the matter...
