Relational Databases and Bell's Theorem
نویسنده
چکیده
Our aim in this paper is to point out a surprising formal connection, between two topics which seem on face value to have nothing to do with each other: relational database theory, and the study of non-locality and contextuality in the foundations of quantum mechanics. We shall show that there is a remarkably direct correspondence between central results such as Bell’s theorem in the foundations of quantum mechanics, and questions which arise naturally and have been well-studied in relational database theory.

A Logic of Type Relations and its Applications to Relational Databases
A calculus of typed relations subsuming the classical relational database theory is presented. An associated sound and complete deduction mechanism is developed. The formulation is generalized to deal with nondeterministic databases and information relations in the rough set-style. keywords: relational logic, typed relations, relational database, nondeterministic databases, information relation...
متن کاملCombining Relational and Semi-structured Databases for an Inquiry Application
The popularity of NoSQL databases keeps growing and more companies have been moving away from relational databases to nonrelational NoSQL databases. In this paper, the partitioning of a relational data model of an inquiry system into semi-structured and relational data for storage in both SQL and NoSQL databases is shown. Furthermore, the CAP theorem will be applied to categorize the storing of...
متن کاملFuzzy Database Query Languages and Their Relational Completeness Theorem
Two fuzzy database query languages are proposed. They are used to query to fuzzy databases that are enhanced from relational databases in a way that fuzzy sets are allowed in both attribute values and truth values. A fuzzy calculus query language is constructed based on the relational calculus and a fuzzy algebra query language is also constructed based on the relational algebra. In addition, t...
متن کاملRelational interpretation of the wave function and a possible way around Bell’s theorem
The famous “spooky action at a distance” in the EPR-szenario is shown to be a local interaction, once entanglement is interpreted as a kind of “nearest neighbor” relation among quantum systems. Furthermore, the wave function itself is interpreted as encoding the “nearest neighbor” relations between a quantum system and spatial points. This interpretation becomes natural, if we view space and di...
متن کاملOptimization of the Controlled Evaluation of Closed Relational Queries
For relational databases, controlled query evaluation is an effective inference control mechanism preserving confidentiality regarding a previously declared confidentiality policy. Implementations of controlled query evaluation usually lack efficiency due to costly theorem prover calls. Suitably constrained controlled query evaluation can be implemented efficiently, but is not flexible enough f...
