Course of lectures on physical constructivism

Yuri Ozhigov

Published Nov 21, 2008• 0 citations

Abstract

In this course, I talk about the source of mathematical constructivism and its role in the future development of theoretical physics. I describe what physical constructivism is and why it is necessary for the penetration of exact methods of theoretical physics to the area of complex systems, which formally belong to the others natural disciplines. I describe the concrete heuristic for the creating of models of constructive quantum theory the method of collective behavior. I represent the constructive viewpoint on the quantum computer, which treats it as the model object of many particle quantum physics, and the practical recommendation concerning its building. Due to the known inertia of the educational system constructive methods in mathematics remains mostly unknown to the wide physical community, and I hope that this course will stimulate the interest to the new possibilities, which these methods open. These possibilities represent interest to natural scientists and for programmers as well.

Guide to Reading This Textbook

Bob Coecke, Aleks Kissinger

Nothing endures but change. – Heraclitus of Ephesus, 535–475 BC Who Are You and What Do You Want? While there is already a plethora of textbooks on quantum theory and its features, this one is unique because it is based on quantum picturalism. Prerequisites. There are hardly any prerequisites to this textbook. We do not expect our readers to have a background in physics or computer science or to have any profound background in mathematics. In principle, some basic secondary-school mathematics should be sufficient. For example, linear algebra (and of course quantum theory) is presented from scratch in a diagrammatic manner. However, this does not mean that the first half of this book will be a boring read for the specialist, since these presentations from scratch are radically different from the usual ones. Target audience. Given its low entrance fee, as well as its unique form and content, this textbook should appeal to a broad audience, ranging from students to experts from a wide range of disciplines including physicists, computer scientists, mathematicians, logicians, philosophers of science, and researchers from other areas with a multidisciplinary interest, such as biologists, engineers, cognitive scientists, and educational scientists. One particular target audience for this book consists of students and researchers in quantum computation and quantum information, as we will apply the tools from quantum picturalism directly to these areas. A practising quantum computing researcher may discover a new set of tools to attack open problems where traditional methods have failed, and a student may find some subjects explained in a manner that is much easier to grasp. Another target audience consists of students and experts with an interest in foundations and/or philosophy of physics, who can read in this book about a process-oriented approach to physics that takes composition of systems as a first-class citizen, rather than a derived notion. In particular, this is the first book that uses diagrammatic language to capture the idea of a process theory and puts such process theories forward as a new foundation for quantum theory, in which all standard quantum theoretical notions can be expressed.

Description of quantum systems by the collective behavior method

Yu. I. Ozhigov

We develop the constructive viewpoint to quantum theory, which means the using of constructive mathematics as the basic formalism. It is shown how the heuristic of collective behavior leads to the description of complex quantum systems with the inbuilt decoherence on classical computers. Decoherence comes from the finite total number of samples for each quantum particles. When this number converges to infinity, its trajectory converges to the solution of Schrödinger equation. This model rests on the simple rule of the sort of momentum exchange and gives the linear growth of the complexity.

Mini-Workshop: Mathematical Approaches to Collective Phenomena in Large Quantum Systems

Stefan Adams, Marek Biskup, Robert Seiringer

The workshop Mathematical Approaches to Collective Phenomena in Large Quantum Systems , organised by Stefan Adams (Warwick) and Robert Seiringer (Princeton) was held August 31st–September 6th, 2008. This meeting was well attended with 17 participants with broad geographic representation from all continents and with a good mixture of younger Postdocs/researchers (Boland, Bru, Crawford, Schlein, and Starr) and senior researchers. This workshop was a nice blend of researchers with various backgrounds ranging from analysis, probability theory, and functional integration. The fifteen talks are focused along the three general research directions developing mathematical theories of quantum phase transitions: (1) Dilute gas limit and nonlinear effective theories (2) Random walk representations via Feynman–Kac formula (3) Field theory/semiclassical representations via coherent states Area (1) is represented with new developments in talks by Lieb and Solovej focused on the Bogoliubov theory to derive second order correction to the ground state energy and in a talk by Yngvason on rotating trapped Bose gases. New developments for quantum spin systems have been reported by Nachtergaele and Starr. A new probabilistic approach has been introduced in a talk by König which shows a modelling of the free energy in the thermodynamic limit, and future will show if this approach goes beyond the existing theory on finite temperature Bose gases. An interesting area has been summarised by Ueltschi on random permutations. This area is recently under much focus in the probability community. The contribution from the youngest participant, the PhD-student Boland, showed an interesting result concerning the Bose condensate density and the density of so-called long cycles. Long cycles appear if probability mass of finite cycles gets lost in the thermodynamic limit, an area which is studied in the combinatorics community via shape measure analysis. The schedule of the workshop allowed intensive discussion during the afternoons including Friday. The workshop has been closed with an informal discussion/meeting on Friday evening which was attended by the majority of the participants. The workshop showed interesting new developments, and it is the hope of the organisers that there will be more interdisciplinary collaborations, in particular between the analysis and the probability community.
