ABSTRACT: This paper proposes an extension to the Einstein Field Equations by integrating quantum informational measures, specifically entanglement entropy and quantum complexity. These modified equations aim to bridge the gap between general relativity and quantum mechanics, offering a unified framework that incorporates the geometric properties of spacetime with fundamental aspects of quantum information theory. The theoretical implications of this approach include potential resolutions to longstanding issues like the black hole information paradox and new perspectives on dark energy. The paper presents modified versions of classical solutions such as the Schwarzschild metric and Friedmann equations, incorporating quantum corrections. It also outlines testable predictions in areas including gravitational wave propagation, black hole shadows, and cosmological observables. We propose several avenues for future research, including exploring connections with other quantum gravity approaches designing experiments to test the theory’s predictions. This work contributes to the ongoing exploration of quantum gravity, offering a framework that potentially unifies general relativity and quantum mechanics with testable predictions.
