Quantum Dreams

Abstract

The correlation between quantum phenomena and information is explored using relational quantum mechanics (RQM) and quantum monism as potential frameworks for understanding informational reality's emergence from the merely physical. Emphasizing a top-down approach, the paper advocates applying knowledge of quantum components to our classical world. It highlights the contributions of researchers such as Rovelli, Wheeler, and Everett, who have made strides in this direction. The paper elucidates the duality of quantum states as counterintuitive when applied to physical objects but comprehensible as information. It questions the necessity of deferring to an external reality and urges a pragmatic approach to constructing our understanding of reality. Quantum computation's significance is emphasized, as it bridges physical and informational aspects of reality. Ultimately, the paper envisions a transformative world in which human hands shape physical reality by harnessing the potential of quantum computation and delving into Planck's energy-time relation. In this paradigm shift, traditional aspirations of understanding the fundamental secrets of the physical world, as envisioned by Einstein, may fade, giving rise to a new era of unforeseen peace, fulfillment, and adventure.
