The maximum distinctness of physical systems
Norman Margolus
The limited distinctness of physical systems is roughly expressed by uncertainty relations. Here we show distinctness is a finite resource we can exactly count to define basic phys…
Finite-State Classical Mechanics
Norman Margolus
Reversible lattice dynamics embody basic features of physics that govern the time evolution of classical information. They have finite resolution in space and time, don't allow inf…
Quantum Speed Limits Across the Quantum-to-Classical Transition
B. Shanahan, A. Chenu, N. Margolus +1
Quantum speed limits set an upper bound to the rate at which a quantum system can evolve. Adopting a phase-space approach we explore quantum speed limits across the quantum to clas…
The ideal energy of classical lattice dynamics
Norman Margolus
We define, as local quantities, the least energy and momentum allowed by quantum mechanics and special relativity for physical realizations of some classical lattice dynamics. Thes…
Quantum emulation of classical dynamics
Norman Margolus
In statistical mechanics, it is well known that finite-state classical lattice models can be recast as quantum models, with distinct classical configurations identified with orthog…
The finite-state character of physical dynamics
Norman Margolus
Finite physical systems have only a finite amount of distinct state. This finiteness is fundamental in statistical mechanics, where the maximum number of distinct states compatible…
