Quantum entanglement and anthropology
Ujjwal Sen

TL;DR
This paper draws an analogy between quantum entanglement and anthropological interactions, proposing that quantum correlations mirror social relations and exhibit a form of a second law in social dynamics.
Contribution
It introduces a novel analogy linking quantum correlations with social interactions, extending the concept of monotonicity to anthropological relations.
Findings
Quantum operations resemble online social meetings.
Quantum correlations exhibit monotonicity akin to social laws.
A second law of anthropology is proposed based on quantum correlation properties.
Abstract
We find that the set of local quantum operations and classical communication for multiparty quantum states can be considered as analogous to online meetings between members of a population. Moreover, monotonicity properties of quantum and classical correlations of quantum states of shared systems also carry over to relations between members of the population, giving rise to what may be termed as a second law of anthropology.
