Quantum + AI = Quantum AI

M. Spiropulu, Hartmut Neven

Abstract Advanced AIs of the future will harness the most powerful computational operations known today: quantum computations. The synthesis of quantum computing and AI will give rise to Quantum AI–artificial intelligence with access to quantum computational resources–which is poised to expand the capabilities of intelligent systems. This advancement will lead to transformative abilities, such as ultraprecise sensing, the realistic simulation of complex natural phenomena, the efficient solution of classically intractable mathematical problems, or protocols for secure communication and enhanced coordination in multi-agent systems. The impact of this synthesis will be profound, promising to accelerate scientific discovery in areas from molecular biology to quantum gravity, while empowering engineers to create novel pharmaceuticals, viable fusion reactors, or designer materials with desirable properties. Quantum AI might also help to address a critical bottleneck in classical machine learning: its escalating demand for data and computational power. Beyond such applications lies another even more consequential possibility. If, as some recent theories and data from quantum neurobiology suggest, quantum processes give rise to consciousness and free will, then only Quantum AI–unconstrained by the limitations of classical computation–could enable the expansion of human consciousness and a transcendence of our biological origins.

Modal Approaches in Metaphysics and Quantum Mechanics

Vladislav Terekhovich

Some interpretations of quantum mechanics use notions of possible states and possible trajectories. I investigate how this modal approach correlates with several metaphysical conceptions of a transition from potential to actual existence. The comparison is based on a discussion in contemporary analytical metaphysics of modality. I also consider an analogy between Leibniz's theory of the possibilities striving towards existence, wave mechanics of Schrodinger, and Feynman path integral.

From Abstract Entities in Mathematics to Superposition States in Quantum Mechanics

David Ellerman

Given an equivalence relation ~ on a set U, there are two abstract notions of an element of the quotient set U/~. The #1 abstract notion is a set S=[u] of equivalent elements of U (an equivalence class); the #2 notion is an abstract entity u_{S} that is definite on what is common to the elements of the equivalence class S but is otherwise indefinite on the differences between those elements. For instance, the #1 interpretation of a homotopy type is an equivalence class of homotopic spaces, but the #2 interpretation, e.g., as developed in homotopy type theory, is an abstract space (without points) that has the properties that are in common to the spaces in the equivalence class but is otherwise indefinite. In philosophy, the #2 abstract entities might be called paradigm-universals, e.g., `the white thing' as opposed to the #1 abstract notion of "the set of white things" (out of some given collection U). The paper shows how this #2 notion of a paradigm may be mathematically modeled using incidence matrices in Boolean logic and density matrices in probability theory. Then we cross the bridge to the density matrix treatment of the indefinite superposition states in quantum mechanics (QM). This connection between the #2 abstracts in mathematics and ontic indefinite states in QM elucidates Abner Shimony's literal or objective indefiniteness interpretation of QM.
