Born’s Rule from Contextual Relative-Entropy Minimization [PDF]
EntropyWe give a variational characterization of the Born rule. For each measurement context, we project a quantum state ρ onto the corresponding abelian algebra by minimizing Umegaki relative entropy; Petz’s Pythagorean identity makes the dephased state the ...

A Dilemma for Relational Quantum Mechanics
Principia: An International Journal of EpistemologyRelational quantum mechanics (RQM) is an interesting alternative to the standard responses to the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. But it suffers from a distinctive kind of epistemic solipsism: an observer can’t in principle know anything ...

A functional contextual, observer-centric, quantum mechanical, and neuro-symbolic approach to solving the alignment problem of artificial general intelligence: safe AI through intersecting computational psychological neuroscience and LLM architecture for emergent theory of mind [PDF]
Frontiers in Computational NeuroscienceThere have been impressive advancements in the field of natural language processing (NLP) in recent years, largely driven by innovations in the development of transformer-based large language models (LLM) that utilize “attention.” This approach employs ...

The group structure of dynamical transformations between quantum reference frames [PDF]
Quantum, 2021 Recently, it was shown that when reference frames are associated to quantum systems, the transformation laws between such quantum reference frames need to be modified to take into account the quantum and dynamical features of the reference frames.

Assessing relational quantum mechanics
Synthese, 2022 Relational Quantum Mechanics (RQM) is an interpretation of quantum theory based on the idea of abolishing the notion of absolute states of systems, in favor of states of systems relative to other systems. Such a move is claimed to solve the conceptual problems of standard quantum mechanics.

The measurement problem in Quantum Mechanics: Convivial Solipsism [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020 The problem of measurement is often considered an inconsistency inside the quantum formalism. Many attempts to solve (or to dissolve) it have been made since the inception of quantum mechanics.

Systems and Relations All the Way Down, All the Way Across
Footprint, 2021 This article proposes a hyper-relational theory of the world, conjoining cybernetics, information theory, general systems theory, the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari and quantum physics in order to show that systems and relations go all the way down ...

Quantum reference frames for general symmetry groups [PDF]
Quantum, 2020 A fully relational quantum theory necessarily requires an account of changes of quantum reference frames, where quantum reference frames are quantum systems relative to which other systems are described.

Equivalence of Approaches to Relational Quantum Dynamics in Relativistic Settings
Frontiers in Physics, 2021 We have previously shown that three approaches to relational quantum dynamics—relational Dirac observables, the Page-Wootters formalism and quantum deparametrizations—are equivalent.
