We discuss the challenges that the standard (Humean and non-Humean) accounts of laws face within the framework of quantum gravity where space and time may not be fundamental. This paper identifies core (meta)physical features that cut across a number of quantum gravity approaches and formalisms and that provide seeds for articulating updated conceptions that could account for QG laws not involving any spatio-temporal notions. To this aim, we will in particular highlight the constitutive roles of quantum entanglement, quantum transition amplitudes and quantum causal histories. These features also stress the fruitful overlap between quantum gravity and quantum information theory.

量子引力为自然定律埋下种子



我们讨论了标准(Humean 和非 Humean)定律解释在量子引力框架内面临的挑战,其中空间和时间可能不是基本因素。本文确定了跨越许多量子引力方法和形式的核心(元)物理特征,并为阐明更新的概念提供了种子,这些概念可以解释不涉及任何时空概念的 QG 定律。为此,我们将特别强调量子纠缠、量子跃迁幅度和量子因果历史的本构作用。这些特征还强调了量子引力和量子信息论之间富有成效的重叠。
