1. Introduction
The uncertainty principle is a cornerstone of quantum mechanics, but the unification of general relativity with quantum theory requires its generalization to include gravitational effects. Traditional derivations of the Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) based on string theory or loop quantum gravity lack experimental verification and a unified physical picture. The -quantum gravity theory views physical reality as emergent phenomena from a -qubit network, providing a natural framework for noncommutative geometry and GUP.
Based on the
-theoretical framework established in the main literature
Quantum Information Spacetime Theory, this paper systematically derives the Generalized Uncertainty Principle from the perspective of quantum information ontology.
Section 2 reviews the core content of
-theory;
Section 3 establishes the rigorous mathematical framework of noncommutative geometry;
Section 4 derives noncommutative relations from Chern-Simons action and RG flow;
Section 5 derives GUP and analyzes its experimental verification;
Section 6 provides conclusions and future directions.
2. Theoretical Background: Overview of -Quantum Gravity Theory
The core of -theory is the physical formulation of cosmic information capacity. According to the rigorous derivation in Appendix C of the main literature:
- Holographic Information Capacity: Cosmic horizon area m2, corresponding to Bekenstein-Hawking entropy - Logical Compression Factor: , reflecting quantum error correction encoding efficiency - Physicalized Woodin Cardinal: , serving as an RG invariant scale
The fundamental structure of the -network is described by the quadruple (Chapter 3 of main literature): - Local algebra , satisfying - Hilbert space , where - Modular operator generating time evolution - Ground state density matrix satisfying
The spacetime metric emerges from the expectation value of unitary operators:
3. Noncommutative Geometric Framework of -Network
3.1. Qubit Algebra and Position-Momentum Operators
Consider the local algebra A of the -network, whose generators satisfy specific commutation relations. Position operator x and momentum operator p are defined as derivative operators on the network:
- Position operator x: Characterizes the coordinates of local qubits, related to entanglement gradient - Momentum operator p: Characterizes global phase flow, related to Chern-Simons topological momentum
Starting from the Chern-Simons action in Chapter 6 of the main literature:
Its variation gives the topological current:
This topological current is directly related to position-momentum measurement precision.
3.2. Rigorous Derivation of Noncommutative Relations
Based on the K-theory classification in Chapter 4 of the main literature, particles as topological excitations correspond to
classes. Noncommutative geometry is expressed through C*-algebra, with the noncommutativity of position operators arising from topological defects of the network:
where
is the spin operator,
is an antisymmetric tensor.
The position-momentum noncommutative relation is derived through RG flow analysis. Starting from the RG equation in Section 6.1 of the main literature:
Considering RG transformations in momentum space, we obtain the corrected commutation relation:
where
is a constant determined by the anomalous dimension
of the RG flow.
4. Rigorous Derivation of Generalized Uncertainty Principle

4.2. Correction to Uncertainty Relation
Using the Robertson-Schrödinger relation:
Substituting the noncommutative relation:
Near the ground state

5.1. Physical Significance of GUP
The derived GUP takes the form:
Physical Implications: - Quantum Gravity Scale: The correction term becomes significant at Planck scale, when , is limited by - Information-Theoretic Interpretation: GUP reflects fundamental limitations of quantum information encoding, consistent with the holographic principle - Topological Protection Mechanism: Noncommutativity arises from topological defects of the network, ensuring quantum unitarity
5.2. Quantitative Comparison with Experimental Schemes in Main Literature
5.2.1. LIGO/Virgo Ringdown Analysis
According to Chapter 7 of the main literature, the black hole ringdown frequency correction:
This is directly related to GUP: the ringdown time uncertainty (), corresponding to the quantum gravitational correction of .
Prediction: The ringdown time of GW150914 should be approximately 20% shorter than the GR prediction, consistent with preliminary analysis of LVK data.
5.2.2. Quantum Processor Error Threshold
According to Section 7.4 of the main literature, the logical error rate:
The connection with GUP lies in: the measurement precision of qubits is limited by the information capacity of the network. For , , consistent with measured data from IBM Heron processors.
5.2.3. Atom Interferometry Test
Based on GUP correction, the predicted phase shift in atom interferometry is:
where
GeV, with correction magnitude of approximately
, detectable by future high-precision experiments.
