Description

Astrophysical observations of recent years indicate that the universe is composed of a large amount of dark energy (DE) responsible for an accelerated expansion of the universe. Here, we argue that DE can arise entirely from the standard principles of strong interaction physics and quantum entanglement. Good quantitative agreement of our estimate with the observation, without the need for any adjustable parameters, is encouraging.
