Anthropomorphic Quantum Darwinism as an explanation for Classicality
Nevertheless, quantum mechanics is astonishingly adequate if we want to describe the material world in which we live. It is therefore natural to assume that the way we think has something to do with quantum mechanics. After all, if our worldview faithfully reflects the external world, it ought to reflect also its internal properties at the deepest level! For this reason, it is really interestin...
متن کاملQuantum Darwinism: Entanglement, branches, and the emergent classicality of redundantly stored quantum information
We lay a comprehensive foundation for the study of redundant information storage in decoherence processes. Redundancy has been proposed as a prerequisite for objectivity, the defining property of classical objects. We consider two ensembles of states for a model universe consisting of one system and many environments: the first consisting of arbitrary states, and the second consisting of “singl...
متن کاملClassicality in Quantum Mechanics
In this article we propose a solution to the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. We point out that the measurement problem can be traced to an a priori notion of classicality in the formulation of quantum mechanics. If this notion of classicality is dropped and instead classicality is defined in purely quantum mechanical terms the measurement problem can be avoided. We give such a definit...
متن کاملQuantum Darwinism and Envariance*
Effective classicality of a property of a quantum system can be defined using redundancy of its record in the environment. This allowes quantum physics to approximate the situation encountered in the classical world: The information about a classical system can exist independently from its state. In quantum theory this is no longer possible: In an isolated quantum system the state and the infor...
متن کاملDarwinism in Quantum Systems?
We find quantum mechanics playing a role in evolutionary dynamics described by the notion of an Evolutionarily Stable Strategy (ESS). An ESS being a refinement of Nash equilibrium concept is a stable strategy in an evolutionary game with replicator dynamic as the underlying process. We investigate ESSs in two and three player symmetric quantum games played by the proposed scheme of applying ′id...
