=== In quantum gravity === There is a fundamental conflict, referred to as the [[problem of time]], between the way the concept of ''time'' is used in quantum mechanics, and the role it plays in [[general relativity]]. In standard quantum theories time acts as an independent background through which states evolve, while general relativity treats time as a dynamical variable which relates directly with matter. Part of the effort to reconcile these approaches to time results in the [[Wheeler–DeWitt equation]], which predicts the state of the universe is timeless or static, contrary to ordinary experience.<ref name=Moreva2014>{{cite journal|title= Time from quantum entanglement: an experimental illustration|arxiv=1310.4691|bibcode = 2014PhRvA..89e2122M |doi = 10.1103/PhysRevA.89.052122|volume=89|issue= 5|pages=052122|journal=Physical Review A|year=2014 | last1 = Moreva | first1 = Ekaterina|s2cid=118638346}}</ref> Work started by [[Don Page (physicist)|Don Page]] and [[William Wootters]]<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Page |first1=Don N. |last2=Wootters |first2=William K. |date=15 June 1983 |title=Evolution without evolution: Dynamics described by stationary observables |url=https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevD.27.2885 |journal=Physical Review D |volume=27 |issue=12 |pages=2885–2892 |doi=10.1103/PhysRevD.27.2885|bibcode=1983PhRvD..27.2885P }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last=Rovelli |first=Carlo |date=15 October 1990 |title=Quantum mechanics without time: A model |url=https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevD.42.2638 |journal=Physical Review D |volume=42 |issue=8 |pages=2638–2646 |doi=10.1103/PhysRevD.42.2638|pmid=10013133 |bibcode=1990PhRvD..42.2638R }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Giovannetti |first1=Vittorio |last2=Lloyd |first2=Seth |last3=Maccone |first3=Lorenzo |date=26 August 2015 |title=Quantum time |url=https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevD.92.045033 |journal=Physical Review D |volume=92 |issue=4 |pages=045033 |doi=10.1103/PhysRevD.92.045033|arxiv=1504.04215 |bibcode=2015PhRvD..92d5033G |hdl=1721.1/98287 |s2cid=85537706 }}</ref> suggests that the universe appears to evolve for observers on the inside because of energy entanglement between an evolving system and a clock system, both within the universe.<ref name=Moreva2014/> In this way the overall system can remain timeless while parts experience time via entanglement. The issue remains an open question closely related to attempts at theories of [[quantum gravity]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Altaie |first1=M.

Integration of these two theories faces many problems. In an (unrealistic) model space called the [[anti-de Sitter space]], the [[AdS/CFT correspondence]] allows a quantum gravitational system to be related to a quantum field theory without gravity.<ref name=Swingle2018>{{cite journal |last=Swingle |first=Brian |date=10 March 2018 |title=Spacetime from Entanglement |url=https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev-conmatphys-033117-054219 |journal=Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics |language=en |volume=9 |issue=1 |pages=345–358 |doi=10.1146/annurev-conmatphys-033117-054219 |bibcode=2018ARCMP...9..345S |issn=1947-5454}}</ref> Using this correspondence, [[Mark Van Raamsdonk]] suggested that [[spacetime]] arises as an emergent phenomenon of the quantum degrees of freedom that are entangled and live in the boundary of the spacetime.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Van Raamsdonk |first=Mark |date=2010 |title=Building up spacetime with quantum entanglement |url=https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/abs/10.1142/S0218271810018529 |journal=International Journal of Modern Physics D |language=en |volume=19 |issue=14 |pages=2429–2435 |doi=10.1142/S0218271810018529 |bibcode=2010IJMPD..19.2429V |issn=0218-2718|arxiv=1005.3035 }}</ref>
