Metric on a Statistical Space-Time
From MaRDI portal

Abstract: We introduce a concept of distance for a space-time where the notion of point is replaced by the notion of physical states e.g. probability distributions. We apply ideas of information theory and compute the Fisher information matrix on such a space-time. This matrix is the metric on that manifold. We apply these ideas to a simple model and show that the Lorentzian metric can be obtained if we assumed that the probability distributions describing space-time fluctuations have complex values. Such complex probability distributions appear in non-Hermitian quantum mechanics.
