Reasoning About Quantum Knowledge
We construct a formal framework for investigating epistemic and temporal notions in the context of distributed quantum computation. While we rely on structures developed in [1], we stress that our notion of quantum knowledge makes sense more generally in any agentbased model for distributed quantum systems. Several arguments are given to support our view that an agent’s possibility relation sho...
متن کاملReasoning About Quantum Systems
A new logic is proposed for reasoning about quantum systems. The logic embodies the postulates of quantum physics and it was designed from the semantics upwards by identifying quantum models with superpositions of classical models. This novel approach to quantum logic is completely different from the traditional approach of Birkhoff and von Neumann. It has the advantage of making quantum logic ...
متن کاملA Framework for Understanding the Patterns of Student Difficulties in Quantum Mechanics
Compared with introductory physics, relatively little is known about the development of expertise in advanced physics courses, especially in the case of quantum mechanics. Here, we describe a framework for understanding the patterns of student reasoning difficulties and how students develop expertise in quantum mechanics. The framework posits that the challenges many students face in developing...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics is About Quantum Information
I argue that quantum mechanics is fundamentally a theory about the representation and manipulation of information, not a theory about the mechanics of nonclassical waves or particles. The notion of quantum information is to be understood as a new physical primitive—just as, following Einstein’s special theory of relativity, a field is no longer regarded as the physical manifestation of vibratio...
متن کاملTwo Dogmas About Quantum Mechanics
We argue that the intractable part of the measurement problem—the ‘big’ measurement problem—is a pseudo-problem that depends for its legitimacy on the acceptance of two dogmas. The first dogma is John Bell’s assertion that measurement should never be introduced as a primitive process in a fundamental mechanical theory like classical or quantum mechanics, but should always be open to a complete ...
