The information interpretation of quantum mechanics

Karl Svozil
TLDR
In the information interpretation of quantum mechanics, information is the most fundamental, basic entity and the concept of a many-to-one state reduction is not a fundamental one but results from the practical impossibility to reconstruct the original state after the measurement.
Abstract
In the information interpretation of quantum mechanics, information is the most fundamental, basic entity. Every quantized system is associated with a definite discrete amount of information (cf. Zeilinger). This information content remains constant at all times and is permutated one-to-one throughout the system evolution. What is interpreted as measurement is a particular type of information transfer over a fictitious interface. The concept of a many-to-one state reduction is not a fundamental one but results from the practical impossibility to reconstruct the original state after the measurement.

Could robots become authentic companions in nursing care

TL;DR: The authors of this essay propose that the heart of the foregoing objections and concerns may be evaluated, in part, scientifically - albeit with a conclusion recommending fundamental revisions in AI modelling of human mental life.

Dynamically Multivalued, Not Unitary or Stochastic, Operation of Real Quantum, Classical and Hybrid Micro-Machines

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a multivalued solution to the many-body problem, which reveals the true, complex-dynamical basis of solid-state dynamics, including the origin and internal dynamics of macroscopic quantum states.

Deutsch's CTC Model and its Implications for the Foundations of Quantum Theory

Lucas Dunlap
TL;DR: Dunlap as mentioned in this paper argues that the adoption of the Deutsch CTC model entails the existence of Nonlocal Signaling, which is in conflict with a fundamental principle of the quantum information approach, and this argument is essential to the solutions it offers to the paradoxes of time travel.

Remarks on the Mind-Body Question

TL;DR: The relation of mind to body will enter the realm of scientific inquiry in the near future and it seems worthwhile to summarize the views to which a dispassionate contemplation of the most obvious facts leads as mentioned in this paper.

A Foundational Principle for Quantum Mechanics

TL;DR: In this article, the missing principle that all knowledge in physics has to be expressed in propositions was identified through the observation that the most elementary system represents the truth value of one proposition, i.e., it carries just one bit of information.

Complementarity and the quantum eraser.

TL;DR: Various experiments are presented demonstrating the mutual exclusivity of observing interference and which-path information, as demanded by Bohr's complementarity principle, using photon pairs created in parametric down-conversion.
