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.

Creativity, defined as the tendency to generate or recognize new ideas or alternatives and to make connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, is too vast a horizon to be summed up in such a simple sentence. The extreme abstractness of creativity makes it harder to quantify in its entirety. Yet, a lot of efforts have been made both by psychologists and neurobiologists to identify its signature. A general conformity is expressed in the Free association theory, i.e. the more freely a persons conceptual nodes are connected, the more divergent thinker (also, creative) he or she is. Also, tolerance of ambiguity is found to be related to divergent thinking. In this study, we approach the problem of creativity from a theoretical physics standpoint. Theoretically, for the initial conceptual state, the next jump to any other node is equally probable and non-deterministic. Repeated intervention of external stimulus (analogous to a measurement) is responsible for such jumps. And to study such a non-deterministic system with continuous measurements, Quantum theory has been proven the most successful, time and again. We suggest that this collection of nodes form a system which is likely to be governed by quantum physics and specify the transformations which could help explain the conceptual jump between states. Our argument, from the point of view of physics is that the initial evolution of the creative process is identical, person or field independent. To answer the next obvious question about individual creativity, we hypothesize that the quantum system, under continuous measurements (in the form of external stimuli) evolves with chaotic dynamics, hence separating a painter from a musician. Possible experimental methodology of these effects has also been suggested using ambiguous figures.
