[Fis] A Particle Is a 'Deformation of the Qubit Ocean' - The new explanation on quantum information by physicists is making great impact on Fundamental Information Science

[Xueshan Yan]

Dear FIS colleagues,

 

The following paragraph is extracted from "What Is a Particle?" written by
Natalie Wolchover, November 12, 2020. The thought of physical informatics it
represents is the thinking on the origin of particles by a group of young
physicists from Massachusetts Institute of technology in the post-Wheeler
era. Many physicists believe that some of them are moving towards the Nobel
Prize in physics.

 

FIS researchers should pay close attention to the physical informatics in
this era as a bystander - their research is jointly completed by a group of
modern physicists and mathematicians - otherwise, in a few years later, we
couldn't deserve to be a bystander.

 

Maybe it is brewing a revolution in both of Fundamental Physical Science and
Fundamental Information Science.

 

Best wishes,

A Particle Is a 'Deformation of the Qubit Ocean'

 

"The first of these research efforts goes by the slogan "it-from-qubit,"
which expresses the hypothesis that everything in the universe - all
particles, as well as the space-time fabric those particles stud like
blueberries in a muffin - arises out of quantum bits of information, or
qubits. Qubits are probabilistic combinations of two states, labeled 0 and
1. (Qubits can be stored in physical systems just as bits can be stored in
transistors, but you can think of them more abstractly, as information
itself.) When there are multiple qubits, their possible states can get
tangled up, so that each one's state depends on the states of all the
others. Through these contingencies, a small number of entangled qubits can
encode a huge amount of information."
