有多少比特指定了一个量子态?

How many bits specify a quantum state?

Barbara Drossel

摘要:

量子力学认为自然界是离散的,每个相空间体积$\hbar^{3N}$有一个状态。这似乎与N粒子系统的状态可以具有无限精确度的想法相矛盾,并且可以用一组指数形式的复数来描述。本文以一个有限温度的盒子中的气体为例,论证了波函数的精确度确实是有限的,这可能有助于理解量子到经典的转变。

英文摘要:

Quantum mechanics suggests that nature is discrete, with one state per phase space volume $\hbar^{3N}$. This appears to contradict the idea that the state of an N-particle system can have infinite precision and is described by a set of exponentially many complex numbers. Using a finite-temperature gas confined in a box as an example, this short paper argues that there are indeed limits to the precision of wave functions, and that this may help at understanding the quantum-to-classical transition.
