Can Reality be simulated by a huge Quantum Computer? Do we believe that Reality is made of something more than interacting quantum systems? The idea that the whole Physics is ultimately a quantum computation—a strong quantum version of the Church-Turing hypothesis well synthesized by the Wheeler’s coinage It from bit— is very appealing. It is theoretically very parsimonious: an Occam razor’s quality-guaranteed description of the world. But, if this is the case, then we need to understand the entire Physics as emergent from the quantum computation. Here I will make a short exploration on how this may come about.

Abstract
Can Reality be simulated by a huge Quantum Computer? Do we believe that Reality is made of something more than interacting quantum systems? The idea that the whole Physics is ultimately a quantum computation—a strong quantum version of the Church-Turing hypothesis well synthesized by the Wheeler’s coinage It from bit— is very appealing. It is theoretically very parsimonious: an Occam razor’s quality-guaranteed description of the world. But, if this is the case, then we need to understand the entire Physics as emergent from the quantum computation. Here I will make a short exploration on how this may come about.File in questo prodotto:
