Quantum theory based on real numbers cannot be experimentally falsified
Timothée Hoffreumon, Mischa P. Woods
Whether the complex numbers of standard quantum theory are experimentally indispensable has remained open for decades. Real quantum theory (RQT), obtained by replacing complex ampl…
Quantum theory does not need complex numbers
Timothee Hoffreumon, Mischa P. Woods
Quantum theory was radically different from the theories of nature which came before it. One key difference was its use of complex numbers. This opened a longstanding debate over w…
Quantum Frequential Computing: a quadratic runtime advantage for all computations
Mischa P. Woods
An enduring challenge in computer science is reducing the runtime required to solve computational problems. Quantum computing has attracted significant attention due to its potenti…
A general quantum circuit framework for Extended Wigner's Friend Scenarios: logically and causally consistent reasoning without absolute measurement events
V. Vilasini, Mischa P. Woods
Extended Wigner's Friend Scenarios (EWFSs) go beyond the standard usage of quantum theory, where agents are treated classically, and instead model agents as unitary evolving quantu…
