The Informational Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

[@frun]

The most interesting question is: what are the operations(gates)?

[@siirmartin403]

Yes. In a sense, every quantum mechanical transformation of state can be regarded as a computation (the physical substrate of which is a 'gate').

[@frun]

@@siirmartin403 Yes, but i meant in the ensemble interpretation.

Great video and summary! I just wished they had used a different term instead of "observer" because woo-woo people latched onto that and won't shut up about it

[@siirmartin403]

Thank you, and true. I would've gone for "recorder".

[@jorriffhdhtrsegg]

Originally the main proponents latched onto that too. They weren't right, and it was more reducio ad absurdum but in the first few decades it was actually a bit woo-woo. Weve moved on heavily and not a place for that in last..say...60 yrs or so.
