Four revolutions in physics and the second quantum revolution -- a unification of force and matter by quantum information

TL;DR

This paper discusses the ongoing second quantum revolution, proposing that elementary particles and fundamental forces originate from quantum information, unifying matter, space, and information through a new quantum informational perspective.

Contribution

It introduces a novel unification of particles and forces with quantum information, linking gauge theories and Fermi statistics to quantum informational origins.

Findings

Elementary particles are collective excitations of an entangled qubit ocean.

Yang-Mills gauge theory and Fermi statistics share a common quantum informational origin.

The second quantum revolution offers a new worldview unifying matter, space, and information.

Abstract

Newton's mechanical revolution unifies the motion of planets in the sky and falling of apple on earth. Maxwell's electromagnetic revolution unifies electricity, magnetism, and light. Einstein's relativity revolution unifies space with time, and gravity with space-time distortion. The quantum revolution unifies particle with waves, and energy with frequency. Each of those revolution changes our world view. In this article, we will describe a revolution that is happening now: the second quantum revolution which unifies matter/space with information. In other words, the new world view suggests that elementary particles (the bosonic force particles and fermionic matter particles) all originated from quantum information (qubits): they are collective excitations of an entangled qubit ocean that corresponds to our space. The beautiful geometric Yang-Mills gauge theory and the strange Fermi statistics of matter particles now have a common algebraic quantum informational origin.
