Single Measurement of Figures

Yehuda Gavriel Roth

We introduce a new approach in dealing with pattern recognition issue. Recognizing a pattern is definitely not the exploration of a new discovery but rather the search for already known patterns. In reading for example the same text written in a hand writing, letters can appear in different shapes. Still, the text decoding corresponds with interpreting the large variety of hand writings shapes with fonts. Quantum mechanics also offer a kind of interpretation tool. Although, with the superposition principle it is possible to compose an infinite number of states, yet, an observer by conducting a measurement reduces the number of observed states into the predetermined basis states. Not only that any state collapses into one of the basis states, quantum mechanics also possesses a kind of correction mechanism in a sense that if the measured state is “close enough” to one of the basis states, it will collapse with high probability into this predetermined state. Thus, we can consider the collapse mechanism as a reliable way for the observer to interpret reality into his frame of concepts. Both interpretation ideas, pattern recognition and quantum measurement are integrated in this paper to formulate a quantum pattern recognition measuring procedure.

Emergent Universe from Many Unreal World Interpretation

Bhushan Bhoja Poojary

There are multiple interpretations of quantum mechanics, 2 most famous interpretations are Copenhagen interpretation and many world interpretations. Copenhagen interpretation fails to explain the mechanism behind wave function collapse and many world interpretations avoid collapse by adding infinite branching worlds. Goal of this paper is to provide alternate interpretations which explains mechanism behind collapse using finite pre-existent unreal worlds. All quantum weirdness can be narrowed down to few postulates, if we consider every particle has a dedicated address in event horizon, every address has its own dedicated spacetime fabric, particles will have its projected shadows on other space time fabric and whenever there is interaction between true particle and other shadow particle, new address is assigned for both interacting particles and instantaneously all projected shadow becomes void. We perceive universe from collapse perspective only when particles collapse and new address are assigned, thus giving an illusion that we live in one universe but its result of interaction of multiple worlds. From new postulates we were able to explain how one of the entangled photons can decides other photons path in Wheeler's delayed choice experiment and thus helps us to removes problematic retro causality speculation to explain the phenomenon observed in this experiment.

Entanglement for Thee, Collapse for Me: An Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics Based on the Relativity of Information

Ali Reza Mohazab

We propose an information-centric interpretation of quantum mechanics. According to this interpretation, a quantum mechanical system, $A$, can always choose a basis in which its own state is an eigenstate; it never sees itself in a superposition. This holds true even if, from the perspective of another system $B$, $A$ is entangled with system $S$. In this case, $A$ and $S$ are in eigenstates (in their own systems) with their counterpart subsystem wave functions collapsed in the entangled degrees of freedom, but they are entangled according to $B$. This interpretation does not introduce new physics, and is consistent with the experimental predictions of quantum mechanics. At the same time, it avoids many ambiguities and potential inconsistencies associated with other interpretations. We further clarify concepts of measurement, macroscopic superposition, entanglement, and the dichotomy between the classical and quantum realms, in accordance with our interpretation.

We propose an information-centric interpretation of quantum mechanics. According to this interpretation, a quantum mechanical system, AAA, can always choose a basis in which its own state is an eigenstate; it never sees itself in a superposition. This holds true even if, from the perspective of another system BBB, AAA is entangled with system SSS. In this case, AAA and SSS are in eigenstates (in their own systems) with their counterpart subsystem wave functions collapsed in the entangled degrees of freedom, but they are entangled according to BBB. This interpretation does not introduce new physics, and is consistent with the experimental predictions of quantum mechanics. At the same time, it avoids many ambiguities and potential inconsistencies associated with other interpretations. We further clarify concepts of measurement, macroscopic superposition, entanglement, and the dichotomy between the classical and quantum realms, in accordance with our interpretation.
