TO TRY TO EXPLAIN AND RECONCILE HEISENBERG’S UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE AND EINSTEIN’S COUNTER ARGUMENT “GOD DOES NOT PLAY DICE ” WITH RESPECT TO QUANTUM COMPUTING

Abstract

Researcher believe that Heisenberg believed that it was not possible to predict the location or paths of electrons/atomic particles in solid state matter which he stated in the form of the “Uncertainty Principle” – as a counter argument I believe Einstein had supposedly stated that “God does not play dice ” indicating that there must be some logic as to why the path/location of electrons in solid state matter could not be predictable. Here we try to reconcile the arguments of the above two principle investigators with a suitable explanation. Please note as a background we presume that co-ordinates or paths of electrons/atomic particles can be traced in space or solid state matter using suitable sensors and methodology outlined in the References (Please see the following References 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5).

God’s Certainty-Uncertainty Principle versus Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle: A Possible Path to Unification of Gravity and Quantum Mechanics

Espen Gaarder Haug

Einstein was skeptical of part of quantum mechanics, and he believed that Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle did not reflected the full depth of reality. He famously stated, ”God does not play dice with the universe.” However, since quantum mechanics has passed so many experimental tests, most physicists today assume that Einstein was wrong. Nevertheless, we will demonstrate that Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle must be modified to unify gravity with quantum mechanics. This modification leads to the Certainty-Uncertainty principle where the certainty part is strongly linked to gravity. This means Einstein likely was right in his intuition also on this point. The key is to understand that the de Broglie wavelength is not the actual wavelength of matter but merely a derivative of the true matter wavelength, namely the Compton wavelength. Furthermore, one must understand that the gravitational constant, first introduced in 1873, is simply a composite constant needed to rectify the incomplete definition of kilogram mass introduced into Newtonian gravity in 1873.

Does God Play Dice?

James E Beecham

One of the most enduring philosophical disputes in physics is encapsulated in a briefexchange between Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. Einstein objected to quantummechanics by insisting that “God does not play dice with the universe,” while Bohr retortedthat Einstein should “stop telling God what to do.” This exchange is often framed as adisagreement between determinism and randomness. In this paper, we revisit that debatethrough the lens of the Space-Phase-Three (SP3) framework. We argue that SP3 supportsthe empirical reality of quantum uncertainty without invoking fundamental randomness.Instead, uncertainty emerges from observers and matter being embedded within aconditioned, memory-bearing space-phase. From this perspective, neither Einstein norBohr was fully wrong; rather, both were describing different facets of a deeper physicalstructure that neither had access to. In SP3, God does not play dice—but observersnecessarily experience probabilities.

The Quantum Dice

Veeravalli S. Varadarajan

Albert Einstein once said that he does not believe in a God who plays dice. He was referring to the fundamental principle that quantum theory permits only statistical assertions concerning the values of physical quantities. This issue, namely, whether the description of Nature in statistical terms is complete or even consistent, was the subject of a very lively debate-dialogue between Einstein and Niels Bohr in the years 1920-1930. Nowadays there is no debate as the principles of quantum theory have been verified countless times in experiments. In this lecture (which requires no previous background) I shall discuss both classical and quantum probabilities. Although the meaning of probability remains the same in both contexts, the method of calculating them is different. I shall explain the strange but beautiful manner in which quantum probabilities are calculated, explaining the mathematical foundations in an elementary manner. The meaning of probability

CONCERNING DICE AND DIVINITY

D M Appleby

Einstein initially objected to the probabilistic aspect of quantum mechanics— the idea that God is playing at dice. Later he changed his ground, and focussed instead on the point that the Copenhagen Interpretation leads to what Einstein saw as the abandonment of physical realism. We argue here that Einstein’s initial intuition was perfectly sound, and that it is precisely the fact that quantum mechanics is a fundamentally probabilistic theory which is at the root of all the controversies regarding its interpretation. Probability is an intrinsically logical concept. This means that the quantum state has an essentially logical significance. It is extremely difficult to reconcile that fact with Einstein’s belief, that it is the task of physics to give us a vision of the world apprehended sub specie aeternitatis. Quantum mechanics thus presents us with a simple choice: either to follow Einstein in looking for a theory which is not probabilistic at the fundamental level, or else to accept that physics does not in fact put us in the position of God looking down on things from above. There is a widespread fear that the latter alternative must inevitably lead to a greatly impoverished,

Einstein was Likely Right: “God Does Not Play Dice” Does Randomness Break Down at the Planck Scale ?

Espen Gaarder Haug

This note briefly outlines how numbers that appear to be totally and independently random switch to become deterministic at the Planck scale. In other words, God does not play dice.
