Quantum State Real Complexity (QSRC)
Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
This paper introduces the concept of Quantum State Real Complexity (QSRC), proposing that the complexity associated with a quantum state is fundamentally distinct from computational complexity. Instead of focusing on the steps required for a calculation, QSRC posits that quantum states inherently possess a physical complexity, denoted as [Cψ], which reflects the underlying structure and relationships within the quantum system. This framework shifts the paradigm in understanding quantum systems, potentially leading to novel insights and discoveries. The core argument centers around the limitations of traditional computational models in fully capturing the essence of quantum behavior, particularly regarding entanglement and superposition. The investigation utilizes quantum simulation as a primary method for exploring and characterizing this physical complexity. The potential implications of QSRC are significant, suggesting a pathway toward a deeper understanding of quantum mechanics and potentially unlocking new quantum properties.
