Universal Uncertainty Principle in Different Quantum Theories

Chen‐Bin Huang, Yong-Chang Huang

This paper deduces universal uncertainty principle in different quantum theories after about one century of proposing uncertainty principle by Heisenberg, i.e., new universal uncertainty principle of any orders of physical quantities in quantum physics, overcomes the difficulty that current quantum computer, quantum communication, quantum control, quantum mechanics and so on theories cannot give exact values of general uncertainty of any orders of physical quantities, further gives all relevant different expressions of the universal uncertainty principle and their applications. In fact, our studies are consistent with current theories and physical factual experiments, e.g., relevant to hydrogen atom physics experiments. Using the new universal uncertainty principle, people can give all applications to atomic physics, quantum mechanics, quantum communication, quantum calculations, quantum computer and so on.

The Physical Meaning of the Holographic Principle

Chris Fields, James F. Glazebrook, Antonino Marcianò

We show in this pedagogical review that far from being an apparent law of physics that stands by itself, the holographic principle is a straightforward consequence of the quantum information theory of separable systems. It provides a basis for the theories of measurement, time, and scattering. Utilizing the notion of holographic screens, which are information encoding boundaries between physical subsystems, we demonstrate that the physical interaction is an information exchange during which information is strictly conserved. Then we use generalized holographic principle in order to flesh out a fully-general quantum theory of measurement in which the measurement produces finite-resolution, classical outcomes. Further, we show that the measurements are given meaning by quantum reference frames and sequential measurements induce topological quantum field theories. Finally, we discuss principles equivalent to the holographic principle, including Markov blankets and the free-energy principle in biology, multiple realizability and virtual machines in computer science, and active inference and interface theories in cognitive science. This appearance in multiple disciplines suggests that the holographic principle is not just a fundamental principle of physics, but of all of science. Quanta 2022; 11: 72–96.

Tests of constructor theory

Chiara Marletto, David Deutsch, Vlatko Vedral

Constructor theory is a proposal to extend quantum information theory beyond both quantum theory and computation, to cover more general machines than programmable computers -- called constructors. It consists of newly conjectured physical principles that can be expressed as constraints on what tasks are possible, what are impossible, and why. These principles also determine the repertoire of the universal constructor, which is a programmable machine that can perform all physically possible tasks. The principles of constructor theory have novel physical content that supplements current dynamical laws, leading to new predictions for experimental tests. In this paper, we review the main experimental proposals to test the principles of constructor theory and discuss their implications for existing theories of physics and for their successors.

Universal Uncertainty Principle and Solution to Puzzle of No Giving Exact Values of General Uncertainty of Physics Quantities in Current Quantum Theories

Jia-Min Song, Ding-Fang Zeng, Changyu Huang +1 more

The current uncertainty principle is only the variance expressions, which is no complete and cannot satisfy the key and real urgent needs of the exactly describing physical systems up to now about one century since proposing uncertainty principle by Heisenberg. This paper not only deduces universal uncertainty principle but also solves the Puzzle of no giving exact values of general uncertainty of any orders of physical quantities in current different quantum theories, i.e., this paper solves the difficult Puzzle that current quantum computer, quantum communication, quantum control, quantum mechanics, particle physics, and quantum field theory and so on cannot give exact values of general uncertainty of any orders of physical quantities. This paper further gives all relevant different expressions of the universal uncertainty principle and their applications. In fact, our studies are consistent with current theories and physical factual experiments, e.g., relevant to hydrogen atom physics experiments Using the new universal uncertainty principle, people can give all applications to atomic physics, quantum mechanics, quantum communication quantum field theory, particle physics and so on, which will result in renewing to urgently do all works relevant to the universal uncertainty principle in all these sciences.
