A Turing test for free will
Before Alan Turing made his crucial contributions to the theory of computation, he studied the question of whether quantum mechanics could throw light on the nature of free will. This paper investigates the roles of quantum mechanics and computation in free will. Although quantum mechanics implies that events are intrinsically unpredictable, the 'pure stochasticity' of quantum mechanics adds ra...
متن کاملA study of Determinism and Free-will in Persian Proverbs
Proverbs as a part of colloquial literature are always nourished by religion, culture, traditions, and philosophical beliefs of a community, and thus they mirror the common beliefs of a people. The frequent repletion of a proverb pregnant with a specific thought makes that type of thought a behavioral pattern and affects the actions and behaviors of the people of a society. In the Iranian socie...
متن کاملCan quantum mechanics explain " free will
My paper: Funda-Mentality: Is the conscious mind subtly linked to a basic level of the universe? Trends in Cognitive Sciences 2(4):119-127 (1998), was followed by an exchange focusing on the problem of free will (and other issues) between me and two critics, Emmet Spier from the Centre for Computational Neuroscience and Robotics, University of Sussex, Falmer, Brighton, UK, and Adrian Thomas, De...
متن کاملClassical Ising model test for quantum circuits
We exploit a recently constructed mapping between quantum circuits and graphs in order to prove that circuits corresponding to certain planar graphs can be efficiently simulated classically. The proof uses an expression for the Ising model partition function in terms of quadratically signed weight enumerators (QWGTs), which are polynomials that arise naturally in an expansion of quantum circuit...
متن کاملA quantum mechanical look at time travel and free will
Consequences of the basic and most evident consistency requirement—that measured events cannot happen and not happen at the same time—are reviewed. Particular emphasis is given to event forecast and event control. As a consequence, particular, very general bounds on the forecast and control of events within the known laws of physics result. These bounds are of a global, statistical nature and n...
