The Quantum Certainty Knowledge Theory: An Indeterminate and Determinate Theory of Quantum Interaction

ORAL

Abstract

The Quantum Certainty Knowledge theory presents a measurement solution focused on quantum interaction for an analyzer and an Alice and Bob experiment combining the determinacy of the Many Worlds Interpretation (MWI) with the indeterminacy of quantum entanglement/ superposition (QES). It focuses on Quantum Interaction States (QISs) which define how the quantum collapses into outcomes. The prevailing theories are either determinate or indeterminate and have focused on the observable classical outcomes, likely because that is all a classical physicist can observe. The Quantum Certainty Knowledge theory combines determinacy and indeterminacy into one solution while focusing on the QISs whose information collapses into the classical outcomes. Determinate, indeterminate, and null QISs exist for an analyzer and an Alice and Bob experiment. This thought experiment explains what is being measured and how the QIS information collapses into the historical outcomes. The Quantum Certainty Knowledge Theory explains the observations seen in the MWI, QES, and most quantum conundrums.
