Quantum measurement: a game between observer and nature?

TL;DR

This paper proposes a quantum decision theory framework where observers use optimized quantum decision trees and genetic programming to interpret quantum measurements, reconstruct past states, and understand quantum dynamics without invoking consciousness.

Contribution

It introduces a novel quantum decision theory approach with quantum decision trees and genetic programming to analyze quantum measurements and dynamics.

Findings

Quantum decision trees can optimize strategies for quantum measurements.

The approach can reconstruct past quantum states from measurement data.

It offers a new perspective on the observer's role in quantum mechanics.

Abstract

What is the observer's role in quantum measurement? Obviously, observers prepare the apparatus, observe and interpret the measured results. Although the observer will have a certain influence on the measurement results by setting up the measuring apparatus, we don't believe human consciousness cause reducing of wave packet; also observers are certainly required to interpret the measured results with physical meanings. We believe observers build up their experience of the external world by playing games with nature, and then "decode" the nature based on their experiences. We propose a quantum decision theory approach to explain the role of the observer in quantum measurements, and pointed out that a set of quantum decision trees (strategies to answer natural questions with yes/no logic) can be optimized to deal with the challenges of nature through quantum genetic programming based on maximization of the expected value of the observers; Quantum decision trees can discover the dynamics rules of quantum entities and Just as classical mechanics uses the principle of least action to obtain the trajectories of particles, we use the principle of maximum expected value to approximately obtain the kinematic "trajectories" of quantum entities by learning from natural historical "events" (measured results); even we can "reconstruct" the past of quantum entity, because we don't know the prior information of quantum entity, it is very difficult to predict the future of the nature.
