Increasing complexity with quantum physics

Quantum Computation, Complexity, and Many-body Physics

By taking advantage of the laws of physics it is possible to revolutionize the way we communicate (transmit), process or even store information. It is now known that quantum computers, or computers built from quantum mechanical elements, provide new resources to solve certain problems and perform certain tasks more efficiently than today’s conventional computers. However, on the road to a compl...

Quantum Physics: A Case for Anti-Realism?

quantum physics: a case for anti-realism?

the aim of the present paper is to sbo» that anti-realism in science, 1vhich has a1;guab/y become more fashionable in recentyears, contrary to tuha: its proponents assert, cannot make use of quantum mechanics and its impressiue achievements as a frump card in justifying its claims. i will argue that scientific anti-realism far from providing scientific communiry with a progressive methodologica...

Process Physics: Quantum Theories as Models of Complexity

Originally based upon a pregeometric model of the Universe, Process Physics has now been formulated as far more general modelling paradigm that is capable of generating complex emergent behaviour. This article discusses the original relational model of Process Physics and the emergent hierarchical structure that it generates, linking the reason for this emergence to the historical basis of the ...

Expanding Algorithmic Randomness to the Algebraic Approach to Quantum Physics: Kolmogorov Complexity and Quantum Logics

Physicists usually assume that events with a very small probability cannot occur. Kolmogorov complexity formalizes this idea for non-quantum events. We show how this formalization can be extended to quantum events as well. c ⃝2011 World Academic Press, UK. All rights reserved.
