Viewpoint: Turning the Wheels of a Quantum Motor

Michail A. Zak

This paper discusses quantum-inspired models of Livings from the viewpoint of information processing. The model of Livings consists of motor dynamics simulating actual behavior of the object, and mental dynamics representing evolution of the corresponding knowledge-base and incorporating it in the form of information flows into the motor dynamics. Due to feedback from mental dynamics, the motor dynamics attains quantum-like properties: its trajectory splits into a family of different trajectories, and each of those trajectories can be chosen with the probability prescribed by the mental dynamics The paper concentrates on discovery of a new type of entanglement that correlates the probabilities of actions of Livings rather than the actions themselves.

In Professor Whittaker's highly interesting and suggestive application of my model the postulated structure is a system of magnets rigidly connected like the spokes of a wheel, having poles of the same name at the circumference, the corresponding poles of contrary name being all at the centre. He shows that when a bombarding electron, moving in the direction of the axis, approaches such a wheel it sets the wheel turning, the rotation of the poles constituting what he calls a “magnetic current.” If the initial velocity of the bombarding electron falls short of a certain limiting value, the encounter is perfectly elastic, and the electron is reflected back without loss of energy; the point at which its direction of motion becomes reversed may be on either side of the plane of the wheel, depending on the electron's initial velocity of approach. If the initial velocity exceeds the stated limit, the electron passes clear through the system and escapes, but with a definite reduction of velocity, corresponding to a quantum of energy which it has given up to the wheel. When the encounter is elastic, the angular velocity which the wheel acquires during the approach of the electron is lost during the return of the electron. When the encounter is not elastic, and the electron has passed clear through, the wheel is left with an angular velocity ω; and the energy which that represents is the source of the consequent radiation.

In this study qutrits which have 3-level quantum systems will be used. The investigation of quantum qutrit states was done in a mathematical thought experiment in which most of the quantum phenomena (such as decoherence as well as charge and mass) are neglected. Hence, the model based on the investigation of qutrit states by using colour wheel was given in terms of set theory. Then the results of quantum qutrit entanglements in a hypothetical entangled universe will be analysed through the colour wheel compass.
