Abstract: We suggest that the Einstein equation can be derived from Landauer’s principle applied to an information erasing process at a local Rindler horizon and Jacobson’s idea linking the Einstein equation with thermodynamics. When matter crosses the horizon, information on the matter disappears, and the horizon entanglement entropy increases to compensate for the entropy reduction. The Einstein equation describes an information-energy relation during this process, which implies that entropic gravity is related to the quantum entanglement of the vacuum and has a quantuminformation theoretic origin.
