量子整体论

Quantum Holism

Giacomo Mauro D'Ariano

摘要:

一个复合量子系统的性质与其组成部分的所有性质都不相容。这种与所有局部性质不相容的全局性质的存在构成了我所说的“局部整体论”--量子理论独特的整体论。部分整体论具有戏剧性的概念后果,使“量子系统”作为“物理对象”的通常理解站不住脚,因为组成的对象具有与其部分相容的属性。“性质”的概念可以以一种独特的方式扩展到整个运算概率理论(简称OPTs),其中最相关的情况是量子理论和经典理论。尽管经典理论在局部论上并不是整体的,但我们现在可以寻找其他这样的OPT。在被占领领土框架内,“系统”的作用是两个客观事件之间的投入产出联系。在非整体性理论中,如经典理论,系统仍然可以被看作是一个“对象”。相反,在整体论中,将“系统”解释为“对象”构成了理论概念的实体化。

英文摘要:

A composite quantum system has properties that are incompatible with every property of its parts. The existence of such global properties incompatible with all local properties constitutes what I call "mereological holism"--the distinctive holism of Quantum Theory. Mereological holism has the dramatic conceptual consequence of making untenable the usual understanding of the "quantum system" as being a "physical object", since composed objects have properties compatible with those of its parts. The notion of "property" can be extended in a unique way to the whole class of operational probabilistic theories (shortly OPTs), of which the most relevant cases are Quantum Theory and Classical Theory. Whereas Classical Theory is not mereologically holistic, we can now search for other OPTs that are so. Within the OPT framework the role of the "system" is that of an input-output connection between two objective events. In non holistic theories, such as Classical Theory, the system can still be regarded as an "object". On the contrary, in holistic theories interpreting "system" as "object" constitutes an hypostatization of a theoretical notion.
