The uncertainty inequality in quantum holography, Bohr’s indeterminacy principle, and synchronized neural networks
Hanlin Chen, Walter Schempp
Abstract
A rigorous proof of quantum parallelism cannot be based on the Heisenberg inequality because the standard deviation is insensitive to fine structures of the interference pattern generated by a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Actually Niels Bohr’s indeterminacy principle cannot be based on any of the known uncertainty principles. It is shown how the holographic transform allows to circumvent the difficulties with the standard deviation by using a group theoretical implementation of the canonical commutation relation of quantum electrodynamics. The geometric quantization approach makes the heuristic arguments concerning quantum parallelism rigorous by considering wave packets as symplectic spinors on the hologram plane. It includes the standard uncertainty inequality as a special case. As an application to the area of quantum computers, we study synchronized neural networks and their photonic implementations as suggested by recent experiments in brain research. As another result of the geometric quantization approach to holography, the uncertainty minimizing Gabor wavelets arise which provide useful wavelet expansions for image analysis, segmentation, and compression. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
