Quantum Potato Chips
Nikolay Murzin, Bruno Tenorio, Sebastian Rodriguez, John McNally, Mohammad Bahrami
This study maps qubit states under symmetric informationally-complete measurements to a tetrahedron in 3D space, identifying a "quantum potato chip" region where quantum states reduce to classical binary variables. States in this special region can be fully reconstructed using only two projective measurements, unlike states elsewhere in the quantum state space.
Some Quantum Mechanical Properties of theWolfram Model
Jonathan Gorard
By exploring hypergraph rules that deliberately break causal invariance, we show that the Wolfram Model’s multiway evolution functions like a quantum superposition whose geometry converges to projective Hilbert space. By proving that observers can “collapse” these histories via Knuth–Bendix completion—and deriving multiway analogues of Einstein’s equations, the path integral and the Schrödinger equation—we unify discrete spacetime, quantum mechanics and relativity within one framework.
