Creative products based on cultural heritage are high value-added products relying on wisdom, skills and talents, creating and promoting cultural resources and cultural products. Cultural heritage creative products are the organic integration of content creativity and cultural heritage carrier. At the technical level, the design algorithm has not been widely applied, but it has been studied. The output design algorithm fails to take into account both intelligent design and creative design. Computer cannot make creativity even based on the most robust algorithm. As the computing logic is 0 or 1. Quantum information theory can solve the problem. In this research, we proposed the creativity generation scheme inspired by multi data and information entanglement. Application scene is the culture products design with traditional elements based on world culture heritage, the Forbidden City. In this research, it is proposed the creativity generation scheme inspired by multi data and information entanglement.

Creative possibilities require imagination, intuition, vision, creativity, comprehension, and inventiveness, properties that are associated with human consciousness and free will. New developments in quantum information theory have allowed to recently postulate with high confidence that consciousness and free will are properties of quantum systems in pure quantum states. This new development allows saying that possibilities emerge from the quantum level of reality since a classical world is deterministic, that is, algorithmic and predictable, and thus incapable of real creativity. Only a creative agent like a human being could imagine real possibilities in a near-infinite combinatorial sea of patterns, and then figure out some intelligent way to realize them. Even if nature were aimlessly creating random patterns someone should have the comprehension to recognize a creative possibility among them. But comprehension is a non-algorithmic property that requires consciousness.
