Help needed from someone with a good knowledge of quantum mechanics

Featured Replies

The following paper:

"Mathematics as information compression via the matching and unification of patterns," Complexity, vol. 2019, Article ID 6427493, 25 pages, 2019, DOI: doi.org/10.1155/2019/6427493 (PDF, https://downloads.hindawi.com/journals/complexity/2019/6427493.pdf ).

argues that much of mathematics, perhaps all of it, may be seen as a set of techniques for compressing information, and their application.

I would be glad of help to see whether or how this theory of mathematics may be applied to quantum mechanics.

Please get in touch if you have a good knowledge of quantum mechanics and would be willing to help.

With thanks,

Gerry Wolff

 

QM is not mathematics. How a theory of mathematics can be applied to anything which is not mathematics?

My guess is that the referred article was written by the same till operator that gave me the wrong change this afternoon.

A good starting point could be,

Can you explain in terms as simple as possible how information compression could be relevant to QM?
