Quantum information and relativity theory
This article discusses the intimate relationship between quantum mechanics, information theory, and relativity theory. Taken together these are the foundations of present-day theoretical physics, and their interrelationship is an essential part of the theory. The acquisition of information from a quantum system by an observer occurs at the interface of classical and quantum physics. The authors...
متن کاملQuantum Theory and Relativity
Elsewhere I describe some personal encounters with George Mackey [31]. Those discussions often returned to a common set of questions: • Does physics suggest a way to combine quantum theory, relativity, and interaction? • To what extent can one formulate such quantum physics as mathematics? • What is the present status of quantum field theory? • What new mathematics emerges? • What new insight d...
متن کاملRelativity and Quantum Field Theory
Relativistic quantum field theories (RQFTs) are invariant under the action of the Poincaré group, the symmetry group of Minkowski spacetime. Non-relativistic quantum field theories (NQFTs) are invariant under the action of the symmetry group of a classical spacetime; i.e., a spacetime that minimally admits absolute spatial and temporal metrics. This essay is concerned with cashing out two impli...
متن کاملQuantum Information and General Relativity
The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox (1935) is reexamined in the light of Shannon’s information theory (1948). The EPR argument did not take into account that the observers’ information was localized, like any other physical object. General relativity introduces new problems: there are horizons which act as on-way membranes for the propagation of quantum information, in particular black holes wh...
متن کاملGeneral Relativity and Quantum Theory - Ontological Investigations
It is common to note that the two great theoretical frameworks of twentieth-century physics, quantum theory and general relativity, are prima facie incompatible. Within the physics community, the incompatibility is largely discussed on a technical level. In this paper, I would like to frame the problem more conceptually, focussing on the respective ontologies of the two frameworks. When I speak...
